SEUSSICAL THE MUSICAL - COURTESY OF MACARONI KID

Oh, the thinks you can think!

The Patriot Playhouse at First Colonial High School, in Virginia Beach, is bringing Dr. Seuss to life with four performances of "Seussical the Musical" beginning Thursday March 24.

Now one of the most performed shows in America, "Seussical" is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza! Tony winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty ("Ragtime," "Once On This Island") have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie,
and a little boy with a bignbsp; imagination--Jojo. "Oh, the Thinks You Can Think" captures the show's spirit of imagination, as the colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.  The story centers around Horton the Elephant, who finds himself faced with a double challenge--not only must he protect his tiny friendship; Jojo (and all the invisible Whos) from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him, the only one who recognizes "his kind and his powerful heart." Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and
emerge triumphant, in a story that makes you laugh and cry
