Hedgerow Theatre School students bring to life Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat, and all of the favorite Dr. Seuss characters in this fantastical musical extravaganza from Tony-winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Lucky Stiff, My Favorite Year, Once on This Island, Ragtime).
From the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat, our narrator, tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child, who gets in trouble for thinking too many "thinks." Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family, and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!
