'Seussical' at Edison Valley Playhouse

You can watch it with a fox,
And you can with it in a box.
You can watch it with a mouse,
But you can't watch it in your house.
You won't be left in the lurch
If you watch it in an old church.

Edison Valley Playhouse will present the madcap musical "Seussical" for three weekends, beginning Friday, Dec. 4, under the musical direction of Kara Wilson.

Based on the immortal children's books of Dr. Seuss, "Seussical" is a mashup of favorites like "Horton Hears a Who!", "Horton Hatches the Egg" and "Miss Gertrude McFuzz." Horton hears a noise coming from a speck of dust on a clover and commits himself to protecting it and the Whos who live on it; Jojo, a misfit Who who "doesn't Think normal Thinks," struggles to find his place in the tiny Who society; Gertrude McFuzz tries to catch the attention of her love - the kind and compassionate Horton. Through mishaps and adventures, these unique characters finally find what they seek - their places in their world.

Performances begin at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays Dec. 4-19, with a 2 p,m. matinee on Sunday, Dec. 13. To reserve tickets for pickup and payment on the night of the show, call the box office at (908) 755-4654 and leave a message. You will receive a callback only if there is a problem with your reservation. Tickets also are available online.

Tickets cost $20 for adults and $15 for students and seniors.

Edison Valley Playhouse is located at 2196 Oak Tree Road, Edison.
