Curtain Times:

EPIC Players Theatre, New York's Premiere Neurodiverse Theater Company, presents Seussical the Musical.

In this fun and fabulous musical comedy, Seussical brings Dr. Seuss’s beloved characters to life with wit, wonder, and a surprising amount of heart. Narrated by the mischievous Cat in the Hat, the story follows Horton, an earnest elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing the Whos—a tiny community whose voices are all too easy to ignore. Among them is Jojo, a child whose imagination is deemed too disruptive and is sent off to boarding school for thinking too many “thinks.” Horton’s journey is not just about protecting the Whos, but about standing up for those who think differently and dare to see the world from another point of view. Seussical celebrates the values of friendship, loyalty, and inclusion, reminding us that every voice matters, no matter how small. At a time when embracing difference and fostering understanding feels more vital than ever, this musical offers a colorful, moving, and timely message for all ages.  Come experience the heart, hope, and imagination that only EPIC can deliver.

EPIC's onsite box office will open one hour prior to performance.
