https://thekenton.org.uk/whats-on/seussical/ Don't be fooled by our name; throughout our proud history we have performed over 100 operas, operettas, concerts and musicals. From our first performance of 'The Gondoliers' to our most recent performance of 'Rent', our programme seeks to provide a varied and inclusive mix of musical theatre, old and new. If you have an interest

in the performing arts then this is the Society for you. You do not have to be exclusively interested in performing, there are many ways to get involved with our productions, or you may just want to come and marvel at the talented cast on stage. Performing at The Kenton Theatre in Henley, the Society aims to perform at least twice a year in the Spring and Autumn. We also offer a programme of workshops and one-off performance opportunities throughout the rest of the year to support our fundraising and community outreach efforts. Follow us to stay up to date on what Society is up to and how you can support us.

We are SO excited to bring you Seussical, with all of its amazing, wonderful, colourful silliness - and heart - straight out of the pages of Dr. Seuss’s stories!

Our cast has smashed their dress rehearsal, so now all that’s left is to run our lines, perfect our choreo and get into costume, before the curtain rises and we give you a show that will send you home with a smile! ✨🎩

Horton is a kind-hearted elephant, trying to save a whole world of Whos on a small speck of dust.
No-one believes in him, and all he wants is to find someone who does.
But Gertrude McFuzz has been right there beside him all along! If only he’d notice her…💔
