Now one of the most performed shows in America, Seussical is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza! Tony winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Lucky Stiff, My Favorite Year, Once on This Island, Ragtime), have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination – Jojo. The colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.

The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many “thinks.” Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.

The Front deRanged Improv Comedy Troupe is comprised of artists who have performed in the country’s most impressive improvisational realms, including Second City, The Groundlings, Upright Citizens Brigade, Denver’s Bovine Metropolis, and Asheville, North Carolina’s OxyMorons. Performing locally since 2013, Front deRanged players use audience suggestions to create scenes, situations, and clever one-liners in their delivery of unscripted, unbelievable, and unforgiving comedy. Adult situations and language may occur, so leave those kids at home. It’s sort of like Vegas: what happens here, stays here!

Next performance: Friday, August 2nd at 7:30pm
Tickets are $12 ahead of time and $17 day of the show

Set in the little village of Anatevka, the story centers on Tevye, a poor milkman, and his five daughters. With the help of a colorful and tight-knit Jewish community, Tevye tries to protect his daughters and instill them with traditional values in the face of changing social mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia.
