PALOS HILLS, IL — Stagg High School’s Drama Department presents “Seussical the Musical” at 7 p.m. April 28, 29 and 30 and 3 p.m. May 1 in its performing arts center, 8015 W. 111th St. Tickets cost $8 for adults and $6 for students, children and senior citizens.

More than 100 students are expected to put on the show, from cast members to pit orchestra musicians, stage managers, lighting experts, stagehands and those who create the sets.

The show, one of the most performed in the Unites States, is a fantastical journey through the world of author and illustrator Dr. Seuss.

Written by Tony Award winners Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, favorite characters come to life, including the Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Horton the Elephant and lazy Mayzie. Audience members will travel from Circus McGurkus to the Jungle of Nool to the tiny world of the Whos that is too small to see with the naked eye.
