Seussical JR. begins with a young boy named JoJo who conjures up the Cat in the Hat with his powerful imagination and is whisked to the Jungle of Nool for a fantastical adventure. There JoJo learns of the plight of the tiny citizens of Whoville, who live on a planet the size of a speck of dust. Their sole protector is Horton the Elephant, who is the only one with sensitive enough ears to hear them. Their small world is threatened by Sour Kangaroo and the Wickersham Brothers, who in disbelief that a world could be so small, try to steal the dust speck so they can cast it into a vat of Beezle-Nut oil. During all of this drama, Horton does not notice that he has an admirer, Gertrude McFuzz. Gertrude blames Horton’s indifference to her one-feather short tail and endeavours to find a way to change her looks. Meanwhile, Horton’s friend, Mayzie La Bird, is bored of perching on her nest and convinces the watchful elephant to sit on her egg so she can take a vacation. The Cat follows all of these storylines as they unfold. Jojo mustering all his strength triumphantly saves the tiny Whoville world with one big, imaginative “think.”
The St. John Paul II/Faculté St. Jean-Paul II Drama/Musical Theatre cast is made up of students from grades 10-12 with varying experience levels. The students have worked tirelessly to bring the Jungle of Nool to life with all kinds of whimsical choreography and fun characterization. The students have spent this year developing their craft as performers growing in acting, singing and dancing. We are so thrilled with the work they have put in and we cannot wait to share this production with our community.
