Byham Theater

Book by Lynn Ahrens & Stephen Flaherty, Music by Stephen Flaherty, Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, Co-Conceived by Eric Idle, Based on the works of Dr. Seuss

Celebrate Theodor Seuss Geisel (AKA Dr. Seuss!)’s 120th Birthday with SEUSSICAL - a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza! Tony winners, Lynn Ahrens and Pittsburgh’s own Stephen Flaherty (ONCE ON THIS ISLAND, RAGTIME), have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination – Jojo. The colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos. Seussical is fun for the whole family!
