who will be conducted by her
father; and Neeme Jarvi's final

Dr. Seuss seems to be everywhere today — from
big-budget cinematic adaptations like How the
Grinch Stole Christmas and The Cat in the Hat to
the 110-acre Seuss Landing theme park at
Universal's Islands of Adventure in Orlando.
So why not introduce the kids to musical theater
with Seussical a contemporary re-imagining of Dr.
Seuss aimed at both children and adults, where best-
loved characters from 14 of Theodore Geisel's 44
books meet for the first time.
Responsible for the Grammy-nominated score is
the team of composer Stephen Flaherty and lyricist
Lynne Aherns (Ragtime).
Stagecrafters presents Seussical May 27-June 19 at
the Baldwin Theatre, 415 S. Lafayette, in down-
town Royal Oak. Performances are 8 p.m. Fridays
and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays, with 8 p.m.
Thursday performances June 2 and 9. $16-$18.
