SEUSSICAL: MIDDLE SCHOOL MUSICAL GETS RAVE REVIEWS FROM SOLD OUT AUDIENCES Congratulations to the Middle School cast and crew of Seussical JR., a fantastical musical extravaganza from Tony-winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. During its sold-out, 3-day run in the Sterling Place Performance Space, the production played to audiences who were transported from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, all while the Cat in the Hat narrated the story of Horton the Elephant, who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos. This play, where the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community emerge triumphant, is perfect for the holiday season and suitable for all ages. Watch the full performance.
