Needham Community Theatre Seussical press release, November 2026
“A person’s a person, no matter how small!” Join us at Needham Community Theatre for this magical musical adventure of Seussical, by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, from November 20-29, 2026, and discover just how far your imagination can take you.
Based on the works of the legendary children’s author, Dr. Seuss, (Theodore Seuss Geisel), Seussical weaves together some of his most iconic tales, including “Horton Hears a Who” and “The Cat in the Hat”. Some of the well-known characters in the show are The Cat in the Hat, as the narrator, Horton, Gertrude McFuzz, and Jo Jo, the young child who discovers the power of imagination. When Horton the kindhearted elephant hears a tiny voice coming from a speck of dust, he vows to protect the microscopic Whos who live there—even when no one else believes him.
With catchy songs, larger-than-life characters, dazzling costumes, and plenty of Seussian silliness, Seussical is a celebration of friendship, courage, acceptance, and believing in yourself. From the Jungle of Nool to the Whos on the tiniest speck of dust, audiences of all ages will be swept into a world where anything is possible. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of Dr. Seuss or discovering these characters for the first time, Seussical promises to be an unforgettable theatrical experience filled with laughter, music and heart for the whole family!
