In the performance, Seussical the Musical, many characters from various Dr. Seuss books were connected in very creative ways to produce a story that includes each one of them. It was very interesting to see how one character would connect with another while keeping the storyline fitting to a Dr. Seuss tale. Characters, such as Horton the Elephant, Gertrude the bird with one tail feather, the Who’s of Whoville, the mischievous Cat in the Hat, and many others. The costumes for each character were elaborate, yet simple enough to let the imagination create its own imagery. The highly structured scenery also helped the imagination develop through each scene change as though the audience is traveling with the characters to wherever they go. Horton the Elephant was the main character towards the storyline. The character was played by a larger male dressed in a grey thick and wrinkly shirt and pants to represent the skin of an elephant. He would walk around with his arm swaying in front of him symbolizing a trunk. The storyline was based on the Dr. Seuss tale “Horton Hears a Who,” where Horton tries to save a spec of dust that is crying for help.
