“Seussical: The Musical” at Middlesex County Plays in the Park

“Seussical: The Musical”
Music by Stephen Flaherty
Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens
Book by Stephen Flaherty & Lynn Ahrens

This musical is based on the works of Dr. Seuss. But it isn't just a string of his stories set to music. And it isn't just one of his stories. In fact, it is the creation of a new, full length musical with a story which weaves together his most famous tales and characters, creatures, places and things. "Seussical" incorporates elements from at least 15 of his books, as well as many of his best-loved and most familiar characters.
