This fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza! by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Lucky Stiff, My Favorite Year, Once On This Island, and Ragtime) brings to life all of our favourite Dr Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie and all of the Whos of Whoville!
These classic, colourful tales are seamlessly brought together by Jojo, a young boy and “thinker of strange and wonderful thinks”! As each story unfolds you will marvel at how relevant and profound Seuss’s subtle themes are - making this musical one that appeals to all ages.
The score emerges as a Seussian gumbo of musical styles, ranging from Latin to pop, swing to gospel, and R&B to funk! So let your toes tap, your fingers snap, and your imagination run wild.

Merrigong Theatre Company will open up the world of theatre to more people than ever before in 2010. People with a profound disability, who require attendant care support, will be able to present their Companion Card to Merrigong's box office when purchasing a ticket to any show, to receive a second ticket for their companion at no charge.
Merrigong endeavours to make theatre-going accessible to everyone. There is wheelchair access to both theatres and wheelchair-accessible bathroom facilities. Patrons with a hearing impairment can ask for a set of headphones when attending performances in the IMB Theatre, which has a wireless FM system that transmits sound to the headphones via radio frequency. The Gordon Theatre has a hearing loop, allowing those with hearing aids to hear sound more clearly, and headphones are also available. Theatre Captioning is provided for all Merrigong Season shows at the Saturday matinee. The captioning system uses two full colour plasma screens either side of the theatre stage that display live captions.
Patrons with mobility or access requirements just need to advise the box office when booking their tickets to ensure they can be suitably accommodated. Accessible ticket bookings can be made by visiting or phoning the box office on 4226 3366.
The benefits of being a Companion Card holder have been life-changing according to many who have them. They include enjoying improved social networks and increased feelings of social inclusion, confidence and dignity.
Stage Whispers is chock full of feature articles, reviews and most importantly, a complete On Stage Directory listing all productions by opening date across Australia and New Zealand.
And much more.
