GLASSBORO -- The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Mayzie La Bird and other beloved Dr. Seuss characters meet onstage in Glassboro High School's fanciful production of "Seussical the Musical." Fifteen favorite Dr. Seuss stories are linked in an adventure told by none other than The Cat in the Hat himself, played by high school senior Noah Johnston.
The tale follows Horton (Billy Mintz) on a mad-capped adventure as he juggles the responsibilities of protecting the nearly invisible Whos, including Jojo Who (Hannah O'Brien), and guarding Mayzie La Bird's (Marlena Richard's) abandoned egg. Though he finds himself mocked, kidnapped and placed on trial, Horton discovers a staunch ally in the plucky Gertrude McFuzz (Cassie Ferrara).
The musical touches on themes of community, trust and friendship.
Gertrude McFuzz, played by Glassboro High School senior Cassie Ferrara, vies for Horton the Elephant's (Billy Mintz's) attention in this scene from "Seussical the Musical." Glassboro High School's production of "Seussical the Musical" takes place Thursday through Saturday, Feb. 25-27 at 7 each evening in the high school auditorium at 550 Bowe Blvd.
Borrowing a Disneyworld tradition, the cast will also offer Meet the Characters Ice Cream Socials at 5:15 and 6 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 27.
