Dr. Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat – Live on Stage

It’s raining, Mom is out, and two kids are running out of things to do. Then the Cat in the Hat shows up. With his red-and-white striped hat and a few games in mind, he’s sure he can make this rainy afternoon a lot more interesting. Their pet Fish sees trouble coming and has plenty to say about it. At first, the Cat’s visit is just what the kids needed. But once Thing One and Thing Two tumble out of their box, the house becomes their playground. Suddenly, the kids have a bigger problem than boredom. How are they going to get everything back in order before Mom walks through the door? The Cat has one last idea, and it involves a big red machine built for a very big mess. Adapted for the stage by the National Theatre of Great Britain, this live production brings the classic Dr. Seuss book to life through playful rhymes, quick banter and physical comedy. Part of the fun is watching the Cat get carried away with his own games while the Fish says exactly what everyone else is thinking. Bring the kids who ask for the book again and again, the grown-ups who can still finish the rhymes, and the little ones meeting the Cat for the first time. It’s a chance to share a story you grew up with and see which moments get the biggest laughs when they come to life onstage.
