Join Dr. Seuss�s best-loved characters, including Cat in the Hat, as they collide in this unforgettable musical caper adapted from the Broadway version especially for young audiences. The works of one of the most prolific children�s authors of all time will literally come alive on stage at the Majestic.
The Cat in the Hat hosts and emcee�s this romp through classic Dr. Seuss tales recognizable by the lovable characters including Horton and his Who friend JoJo, Miss Gertrude McFuzz, Mayzie La Bord, and many more.

�This show will delight children of all ages,� said Jeffrey Gabel, Founding Executive Director of the Majestic Theater. �The witty words of Dr. Seuss will come to life right in front of your children�s eyes.�
