Anderson School continues its theatrical tradition with the whimsical and heartwarming production of Seussical, coming to the Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture this month. This full-length Broadway musical ignites the imagination of all ages, encouraging everyone to be willing to think new and big thinks. Performances will take place April 14th and 15th. The Friday night show begins at 7pm, with Saturday shows at noon and 7pm.
The story centers around the books Horton Hears a Who and Horton Sits on a Nest. The lively musical brings together stories, references and characters from 17 of Dr. Seuss’ books, all orchestrated through the mischief of The Cat in the Hat. The Education Tony Award-nominated program at Anderson School brings the story to life with a vibrant set and plenty of surprises.
The Anderson drama team brought you recent productions of Matilda, Fiddler on the Roof and The Little Mermaid. The production team is in its 26th year of producing full length, high quality performances with 70 to 85 student actors. This year’s production, with monkeys flying through the air, a vibrant professionally constructed set, and wildly colorful and creative costumes, will not disappoint.
Seussical tickets are available for purchase at www.theemerson.org and at the door, dependent on availability. Tickets are $10 for main floor seats, or $7 for a balcony view. Come support local youth as they entertain Bozeman audiences. •
