Seussical Junior at High School

WWMS presents Seussical Jr at the MHS, March 25, 26, 27

Seussical JR comes to the new Middletown High School this weekend.  The musical is being presented by the Woodrow Wilson Middle School Drama Club and boasts a cast of over 40 talented singers, dancers, and actors.  The family-friendly production runs Thursday and Friday (March 25 and 26) and then again Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m.

The popular drama program drew so many willing participants that several key roles have been double cast and different actors will feature in different roles over the course of the three days of performances.  The cast, adorned in wild wigs and imaginative costumes, bring to life many of Seuss' most beloved characters in a plot that interweaves several stories.  The story is largely based on the book "Horton Hears a Who" and follows the hero, Horton, through many trials and tribulations to rescue the "Whos" that only he can hear.

Andrew Gilliland stars as Horton, Nick Maturo as the Cat in the Hat, Haley McDonald and Joanne Sheehy as Jojo, and many others round out the 7th and 8th grade cast.  Tickets are available at the door and cost  $10 for adults and $5 for kids 12 and under.

The Middletown High School auditorium can be reached through the parking lot to the right of the building as you approach from LaRosa Lane off Newfield Street.
