Seussical Jr.

"Oh, the thinks you can think!" Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and all your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life onstage in Sierra School of Performing Arts all-youth musical production of Seussical Jr., a fantastical musical extravaganza from Tony-winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. This unforgettable musical caper is perfect for the entire family!

Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat narrates the story of Horton the Elephant, who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos. Horton must protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, and he must also guard an abandoned egg that's been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger 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!

Thirty-two incredibly talented students ages 5 to 17 make up the cast with several members coming from SSPA's past productions: Asher Hansen who plays Horton the Elephant and Brooklyn Remington (Jojo) both played Von Trapp children in the production of The Sound of Music. Anna Leff, who plays Gertrude McFuzz, and Malea Hoffman, who plays Mayzie LaBird (Amayzing Mayzie) were both ensemble players in Legally Blonde The Musical.
