On board the SS Graigaur a young sailor begins to pen his first novel.

"I can see that you’ve got quite a mind for your age! Why, one Think and you dragged me right onto the stage! Now, I’m here, there is no telling what may ensue with a Cat such as me, and a Thinker like you!" So
says the mischievous Cat in the Hat at the onset of this fantastical,
magical, musical extravaganza! Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Lucky
Stiff, My Favorite Year, Once On This Island, and Ragtime) have
lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters,
including Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie and all of
the Whos of Whoville! These classic, colorful tales are seamlessly
brought together by Jojo, a young boy and “thinker of strange and
wonderful thinks”! As each story unfolds you will marvel at how
relevant and profound Seuss’s subtle themes are; making this musical
one that appeals to all ages.
