Clark Middle School Drama Department presents “Seussical the Musical” a compilation of more than 15 of Dr. Seuss’ stories into a toe-tapping musical based on the works of Dr. Seuss. But this isn’t just a string of his stories set to music, it’s a totally new, full-length musical following the adventures of Horton, the good-natured elephant, and weaves together Dr. Seuss’ most famous tales and characters in unexpected ways. The Seuss lexicon includes hundreds upon hundreds of wondrous characters, creatures, places and things. Many of these characters never met one another before but they meet in our musical! Some will fall in love, some will have desperate adventures and some will save the world. And they’ll all travel everywhere from the Jungle of Nool to McElligot’s Pool to Whoville. Dr. Seuss believes in helping a friend, in not giving up, in keeping a promise. He believes in the value and the dignity of others, in working to preserve the fragile sweetness of the natural world, and he believes that peace is the ultimate ideal, among nations and in every heart. He also believes in the pure power of the imagination. You will find all these serious concerns at the heart of “Seussical”.
Performed at Lincoln High School Auditorium, Vincennes.
