Things to Know Before the Show

Get Ready For:

• Singing and Dancing
• Lots of Dr. Seuss references - how many easter eggs do you think you can spot?
• Horton and JoJo get treated unfairly because the way they think and act is different from the people around them. When things are at their worst, JoJo gets sent to a military school run by a pompous general, and Horton gets captured by hunters and sold to a circus.
• Horton gets put on trial for "talking to a speck of dust," and the creatures in the jungle call him mean names including "crazy," "criminally insane," and "biggest blame fool in the Jungle of Nool."

Sensory Moments:

• There are a few audience-interactivve moments in this show! There is a moment of direct audience interaction with the Cat in the Hat, and performers are in the aisles frequently. If you need to leave during the show for any reason, please be mindful of this and be extra aware of people around you as you exit through the aisles.
• During the song "It's Possible," bubbles come through and around the audience and beach balls are bounced around the audience as well (they have a light in them, but it doesn't flash).
• There is a moment when Gertrude shines a flashlight into and around the audience.
• During a scene that contains a storm, the Cat in the Hat has a water gun that he squirts around the stage and into the audience. The lights change briefly during this scene as well, but they do not flash or strobe.
• This show is a little longer than our usual performances at around 90 minutes long. If a little one gets restless, you are welcome to hang out with our staff in the lobby - we'll have the show playing on a monitor, so you'll still be able to watch what's going on.
