Hardwick Elementary School REACH! students…
ALL THINKERS OF STRANGE AND WONDERFUL THINKS TO BRING DR. SEUSS' CAT IN THE HAT AND OTHERS
FROM THE PAGE TO THE STAGE WITH THEIR PRODUCTION OF SEUSSICAL KIDS
Whimsical and Magical Musical of Seussical™ Proportions Opens this Friday May 31 at 7:00 and Saturday June 1 at 1pm.
REACH! students will unlock the imaginations of local citizens when they bring the Cats in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Mayzie LaBird, the Whos in Whoville and other Seuss favorites to life with their production of Seussical™ KIDS, it was announced today by the Cat in the Hat and Drew Cohen, president of Music Theatre International (MTI). Co-conceived by Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flaherty and Eric Idle, Seussical™ KIDS 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.
"It takes a lot of creativity and focus to bring this whimsical world to life, while communicating its subtle themes and meaningful lessons," says Cohen. "MTI hopes their audience outnumbers all the Whos in Whoville," he adds. MTI, through its Broadway Junior division, works with the authors of classic musicals to create special editions suitable for students to perform.
"Now, I'm here, there is no telling what may ensue with a Cat such as me, and a Thinker like you!," says the Cat in the Hat.
