Road Company Brings Dr. Seuss Tales to Life in "Seussical"

The Road Company is proud to present its first musical of the 2008 season, “Seussical: The Musical.”  Performances begin Jan. 18 at the Grand Theatre in Williamstown, N.J. 

The classic tales of Dr. Seuss come to life in this madcap romp through a young boy’s imagination. Stories of Horton the Elephant, the planet of Who, amazing birds Mayzie and Gertrude and of course the Cat in the Hat are weaved into a heartwarming tale of compassion, bravery and acceptance of all creatures great and small. 

Local talent abounds with Collingswood’s Jennie Knackstedt reprising the role of The Cat in the Hat and Williamstown’s Dominic Canonica as the imaginative JoJo. Road Company veterans Lani Campagno, Amy Sprouse, Jodi Raditz, Michael Sacks and Nicole Gross shine as the Sour Kangaroo, Gertrude , Mayzie and Mr. and Mrs. Mayor. Somerdale’s Billie Flenders debuts on the Road Company stage as Horton the Elephant. 

Performances are Jan. 18, 19, 25, 26 and Feb. 1and 2 at 8 p.m. and January 20 and 27 at 2 p.m.  For information about The Road Company and to see a listing of the 2008 season line up, go to www.roadcompany.com.
