The award-winning creators of Ragtime capture the imagination and revolutionary whimsy of Dr. Seuss as colorful tales are seamlessly woven together in this fantastical musical celebration. Brimming with sassy sophistication, The Cat in the Hat is host to an eye-popping parade of zany characters including Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie, and all the Whos of Whoville. Concocting a Seussian gumbo of musical styles, ranging from Latin to pop, swing to gospel, and R & B to funk, these beloved creatures will inspire children of all ages to become "Thinkers of strange and wonderful Thinks!"
