Seussical, a free musical for children

TheatreworksUSA's 19th Annual Free Summer Theatre Program is a new production of the young audience version of the Broadway musical Seussical, written by Lynn Ahrens (lyrics and book) and Stephen Flaherty (music and book).

The Show is being performed at the Lucille Lortel Theatre from the 16 Jul - 17 Aug 2007, and tickets are FREE!

The free tickets are available on a first come, first served basis in-person at the Lucille Lortel Theatre Box Office on the day of the performance, one hour prior to curtain time. Individual reservations cannot be made in advance.

Seussical is based on the numerous works of the beloved children's author Theodore Geisel, known to the world as Dr. Seuss.

"Seussical is about many things," Said Flaherty. "It's about loyalty, friendship, family, love and responsibility. But most of all, it's about the power of imagination. We hope our musical stirs the imaginations of all who see it, because with the power of imagination, a person 'no matter how small' can help change the world for the better."

Directed and choreographed by Marcia Milgrom Dodge, Seussical features Ebony Marshall as Sour Kangaroo, Shorey Walker as The Cat in the Hat, Michael Wartella as Jojo, Karen Weinberg as Gertrude McFuzz, Leigh Ann Larkin as Mayzie La Bird, Nikka Graff Lanzarone, Amelia Morgan-Rothschild and Ellen Zolezzi are the Bird Girls; Willie Lee-Williams, Ben Tostado and Josh Walden are the Wickersham Brothers.

Seussical features scenic design by Narelle Sissons, with costumes by Tracy Christensen, lighting by Matthew Richards, sound by Eric Shim and puppet design by Eric Wright.
