Seussical follows the adventures of Horton the elephant after hearing voices coming from a speck of dust. He soon finds the smallest planet in the universe exists within the tiny speck. Tiny little people known as Whos live on this miniature planet. Although ridiculed by the other animals in the Jungle of Nool for believing in something he cannot see, Horton insists the Whos exist. While travelling from the Jungle of Nool to McEligott’s Pool, some characters discover love, adventure, and their desire to save the world.

Seussical Jr. includes thirty-seven cast members, grades 2nd through 8th, from Bartlett, St. Charles, South Elgin, Elburn, Wayne, Streamwood, Geneva, and Montgomery.
