  Seussical weaves together elements from at least 15 of Dr. Seuss’ books, as well as many of his best-loved and most familiar characters. Many of these characters have never met before. But they meet in Seussical - some will fall in love, some will have desperate adventures and some will save the world. And they'll all travel everywhere from the Jungle of Nool to McEligott's Pool to Palm Beach as the one and only Cat in the Hat guides a young boy, named JoJo, through the magical world of Dr. Seuss.
   
  Characters:
  THE CAT IN THE HAT - is pure fun, heart, and imagination. The Cat stirs things up and causes trouble, but always sets things right. He helps JoJo discover the power of his imagination by creating the story of Seussical.
  JOJO – a bright child with a wild imagination. He learns what it means to be responsible and how to use the power and possibilities of his “Thinks” for good.
  HORTON THE ELEPHANT - gentle, imaginative, and good-natured, he is very un-self-conscious. He believes in doing what he feels is right no matter what the consequence.
  GERTRUDE McFUZZ - Very self-conscious and nervous. During the show, she changes from a nervous and shy bird into one who is courageous and ready to be a mother.
  MAYZIE LA BIRD - Selfish and vain. She manipulates – but learns to do what is best for her egg.
  SOUR KANGAROO - She's got a lot of attitude. A loud, brassy, and fun character.
  GENERAL GENGUS KHAN SCHMITZ - Bursting with pride at the tough military academy he runs, and the final products of his work. He makes “a boy a man.”
  THE WICKERSHAM BROTHERS – They tease and get a kick out of making mischief and pranking at the expense of others. Much like playground jokesters.
  THE WHOS - Normal people, only small as to the point of invisibility.
  MR. and MRS. MAYOR – Mayor of “Who” and his wife. Parents at their wits end. Trying to raise a child, JoJo, in a world they don’t understand.
