Dr. Seuss characters will come to life in the one-act musical "Seussical Jr." on Friday at Green Fields Country Day School, 6000 N. Camino de la Tierra.
Join Horton the Elephant in the Jungle of Nool near the River Waloo, along with the Whos, Gertrude McFuzz, Maizy the Lazy Bird, Yertle the Turtle and the Sour Kangaroo. They're all part of the musical cast for Seussical Jr. by Tony award-winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.
Green Fields students in grades three through eight have been practicing weekly since September to learn the popular Seussical musical songs, choreography, dialogue and stage movement.
The 80-minute performance will begin at 7 p.m.
The Green Fields Fine Arts Boosters are hosting a pre-show tasting of Seussian culinary delights such as One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish Canapes, Who Roast Beast Skewers, Truffula Tree Bits and Amazing Maizy Banana Empanadas. The tasting begins at 5:30 and costs an additional $10. Proceeds benefit the school.
