WYO PLAY students will unlock the imaginations of Sheridan citizens when they bring the Cat in the
Hat, Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Mayzie La Bird, the Whos in Whoville and
other Seuss favorites to life with their production of Seussical JR! Co-conceived by Lynn
Ahrens, Stephen Flaherty and Eric Idle, Seussical JR. combines Dr. Seuss tales (…and
tails!) using the plinker-plunker of many musical styles – ranging from Latin to pop,
swing to gospel, and R&B to funk – as colorful as the classic books.
Seussical JR. begins with a young boy named JoJo who conjures up the Cat in the Hat
with his powerful imagination and is whisked to the Jungle of Nool for a fantastical
adventure. Along the way, the Cat in the Hat guides JoJo, as he meets Horton the
Elephant, a Sour Kangaroo, the Wickersham Brothers, Mayzie La Bird, Gertrude
McFuzz, and many more! Ultimately, JoJo saves the whole tiny Who world with one big,
imaginative “think.”
Horton will hear a Who and cheerful chaos will ensue when Tandem Productions and
WYO PLAY present Seussical JR. on June 15, 16, 17, 18 at 7:00 PM at the WYO Theater.
Directed by Tyler Rogers and Stephanie Zukowski Seussical JR. is sponsored by ERA
Carroll Realty and Security State Bank. Tickets and more information can be found at
