His whimsical rhymes and fun made up words entertain both children and adults alike. On Saturday, Nov. 4, the Theatre and Dance\u2019s Roundabout Children\u2019s Theatre presented <em>Seussical Jr.<\/em> <em>Seussical the Musical<\/em> is a musical that is based on the works of Dr. Seuss. While there are many of Seuss\u2019 characters in the musical, the main stories that are adapted are <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Horton Hears a Who <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Horton Hatches the Egg. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The musical is a journey, led by none other than Dr. Seuss\u2019 Cat in the Hat, of fantastical thinks. The show is ultimately one of celebrating friendship and the importance of creativity. It makes a point to say that it&#8217;s okay to think differently from others and that everyone matters.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10622\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10622\" style=\"width: 215px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thebottomlinenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Horton-Hears-a-Who-e1509835511141.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10622\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"10622\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/thebottomlinenews.com\/seussical-jr-for-all-thinkers-of-thinks\/horton-hears-a-who\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/thebottomlinenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Horton-Hears-a-Who-e1509835511141.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2448,3264\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 6&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1509809248&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.15&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.066666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;6&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Horton Hears a Who\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;The hallway entering the theatre was lined with posters of Dr. Seuss&#8217; books.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/thebottomlinenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Horton-Hears-a-Who-e1509835511141-225x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/thebottomlinenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Horton-Hears-a-Who-e1509835511141-768x1024.jpg\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10622\" src=\"https:\/\/thebottomlinenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Horton-Hears-a-Who-e1509835511141-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"The hallway entering the theatre was lined with posters of Dr. Seuss' books.\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebottomlinenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Horton-Hears-a-Who-e1509835511141-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/thebottomlinenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Horton-Hears-a-Who-e1509835511141-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thebottomlinenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Horton-Hears-a-Who-e1509835511141-750x1000.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10622\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The hallway entering the theatre was lined with posters of Dr. Seuss&#8217; books.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The performance that occurred in the Performing Arts Center is a shortened version of the musical to entertain and delight. The Theatre and Dance\u2019s Roundabout Children\u2019s Theatre is a program that travels to many local elementary schools to perform for the children. The program has had many successful shows in the past, including <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Junie B. Jones<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">James and the Giant Peach<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The musical needed to be shortened in order to be able to be performed in schools during the school day. The program brings theatre to young school children and allows them to experience the amazing things theatre has to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10624\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10624\" style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thebottomlinenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Set.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10624\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"10624\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/thebottomlinenews.com\/seussical-jr-for-all-thinkers-of-thinks\/set\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/thebottomlinenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Set.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"3264,2448\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 6&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1509802498&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.15&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;250&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.041666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Set\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;The set for Seussical Jr.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/thebottomlinenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Set-300x225.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/thebottomlinenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Set-1024x768.jpg\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10624\" src=\"https:\/\/thebottomlinenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Set-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"The set for Seussical Jr.\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebottomlinenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Set-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thebottomlinenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Set-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thebottomlinenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Set-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thebottomlinenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Set-750x563.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10624\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The set for Seussical Jr.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The show began with Gordon Duguid coming onto the stage to talk to the audience. He talked of the things that were about to be on stage and how there is an elephant that is going to be there. Duguid told the audience that \u201cin order to see the elephant, you need to use your imagination.\u201d The audience, and especially the children in the audience, loved this and it really got the audience excited. The show completely sold out and all seats were filled during the performance. The crowd was wild with laughter and applause when it was called for, and everyone seemed to have a blast. After the show, the cast came out to the front lobby. The audience got the opportunity to take pictures with the cast members and the many children there were very excited. The show was short but incredible. From the beautifully designed set to the talented cast, everything about this show was great. So many people worked hard on this show and the end product definitely reflected that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A person&#8217;s a person, no matter how small.&#8221; -Dr. Seuss,\u00a0<em>Horton Hears a Who, Seussical the Musical<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Seuss\u2019 works are fan-favorites that continue to be popular over many generations.
