In case you haven’t heard, the circus is in town! The Circus McGurkus that is!

The world of Dr. Seuss is alive with The Plaza Arts Center and The Arts Barn’s presentation of “Seussical,” the musical event of the summer.

Seussical” is the culmination of just two weeks of rehearsals with cast members coming from 8 Middle Georgia counties to learn, act and dance together. The Plaza and The Arts Barn’s Broadway Intensive is a two-week process where area high school students and young adults learn an entire production in just a couple of weeks. Directed by Broadway veteran, Henry Scott, “Seussical” is this year’s performance of choice.

Over 400 audience members entered the world of Seuss last weekend as the Broadway Intensive participants opened “Seussical.” With three stellar performances, the cast and crew got to present all of their hard work to entertained crowds.

“I enjoyed it so much,” Wanda Lee commented on a picture from a Seussical performance.

Adults and kids alike enjoyed seeing some of their favorite Dr. Seuss characters take the stage.

“My grandsons were so excited,” Lynne Woods commented. “It was a great show.”

Whether you’re a fan of musicals, a fan of Dr. Seuss, or just a big kid at heart, there is something in this show for you.

Seussical continues this weekend with shows Thursday, July 13 at 7 p.m., Friday, July 14 at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, July 15 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, July 16 at 2 p.m.
