“Seussical, the Musical is a wonderful story about loyalty, friendship, and tolerance. And the score is full of so many memorable melodies,” said Doug Glener, local Encinitas resident, author of the critically acclaimed book of short stories, Wisdom’s Blossoms: Tales of the Saints of India (Shambhala, November 2002), and father of cast member Gabriella Glener (Thing 2). “It is remarkable how The NCSA pulls professional-quality performances out of children and adults.”
The cast features Winter Bassett (Oceanside) in the lead role as The Cat in the Hat and Jack Blumenfeld (Encinitas) as the role of Horton, the elephant. Brigitte Williamson (Encinitas) will also portray Gertrude McFuzz, the quirky, lovesick bird with a one-feathered tail. Director, Pamela Laurent, says, “This is the most talented cast of singers and actors! It’s amazing to us that we have so many wonderfully talented youth in North County. We’re so excited to present this funny, heartfelt show to the North County area!”
