A delight for children to perform, Seussical is now one of the most-performed
shows in America! In this 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 big 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.

This Pulitzer-prize winning Broadway musical is based loosely on Puccini's
opera La Boheme. It follows a year in the lives of seven friends living the
disappearing Bohemian lifestyle in New York's East Village. AIDS and both
its physical and emotional complications pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi,
Tom, and Angel; Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance
art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the
trouble; Benjamin has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty
income and is on the outs with his former friends; and Mark, an aspiring
filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general, always behind the camera
recording the events but never playing a part.
RENT involves adult themes and language,
and may not be suitable for young children.
