The John T. Nichols Middle School
Presents
Seussical, Jr.
The Musical
"Oh,
the thinks you can think!"
As
schools and libraries across the country plan celebrations in honor of beloved
children’s author, Dr. Seuss’s birthday, the Nichols Middle School Drama Club,
under the direction of Mrs. Beth Anne Young, is preparing “Seussical, Jr.” for their annual musical. Horton
the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters
spring to life onstage in Seussical Jr., a
fantastic musical extravaganza created by Tony-winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen
Flaherty.
Seussical transports audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, as the Cat in the Hat, (played by Jessica
Iraola), narrates the story of Horton the Elephant. Horton (Julia Masse),
discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos. Horton becomes the unlikely hero
of the Whos, as he protects them from
destruction by a world of naysayers and dangers, and the caretaker of an abandoned egg that's been left in
his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird (Erin Graham). Although Horton
faces ridicule, danger and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz (Ella Ferigno)
never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty,
family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!
