Classic Dr. Seuss tale comes to the Villages Amphitheater

"Oh, the thinks you can think, when you think about Seuss!" So says the mischievous Cat in the Hat at the onset of this fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza. Join Fayette-Coweta Family Theatre and a cast of 55 adults, teens and children as they spring to life the imaginary worlds of Dr. Seuss. at the Villages Amphitheater in Fayetteville on June 22, 24, 25 and 26 at 8 p.m. each evening.

This show lovingly brings to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including the Cat in the Hat (played Eileen Baldwin), Horton the Elephant (Robbie Kirkland), Gertrude McFuzz (Lizzie Spratt), Mayzie LaBird (Caitlin Wade), the Jungle of Noon, The Circus McGurkus and all of the Whos of Whoville. These classic, colorful tales are seamlessly brought together by Jojo (Anna Marie Smith), a young child and “thinker of strange and wonderful thinks.” As each story unfolds, through song and verse, audiences will marvel at how relevant and profound Seuss’ subtle themes are, making this musical one that appeals to all ages. The score emerges as a Seussian gumbo of musical styles, ranging from Latin to pop, swing to gospel, and R&B to funk. So let your toes tap, your fingers snap, and your imagination run wild.
