Seussical

0 upcoming performances in New York

Now at Queensborough Performing Arts Center, *Seussical* is a family-focused stage musical that threads together several Dr. Seuss storylines, with Horton at the center and figures like Gertrude McFuzz woven in. The score is by Stephen Flaherty with lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, shaping Seuss’s moral fables into ensemble song-and-dance theatre. It has a particular New York history: it opened on Broadway in 2000, stumbled with critics and finances, then found a longer life through tours and youth productions. The material’s endurance suggests its themes translate well to younger audiences in a live setting.
