In November 2012 Springers present… Seussical – The Musical.

The Cramphorn Theatre, Chelmsford, Essex.

After all those years being stuck on a page, Did you ever imagine you’d see me onstage?Now I’m here, there is no telling what may ensue! No, there’s no telling what! But I’ll give you a clue… So says the mischievous Cat in the Hat at the onset of this fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza. Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Lucky Stiff, My Favorite Year, Once On This Island, and Ragtime) have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie and all of the Whos of Whoville! These classic, colorful tales are seamlessly brought together by Jojo, a young boy and thinker of strange and wonderful thinks! As each story unfolds you will marvel at how relevant and profound Seuss’s subtle themes are; making this musical one that appeals to all ages. The score emerges as a Seussian gumbo of musical styles, ranging from Latin to pop, swing to gospel, and R&B to funk. So let your toes tap, your fingers snap, and your imagination run wild in the world of Dr. Seuss.
