Marmion Academy drama club to present 'Seussical' musical

Marmion Academy will present its spring musical "Seussical" at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, March 23-24, and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 25, in the academy's Alumni Hall at 1000 Butterfield Road in Aurora. Reserved seating tickets are $10; limited seating will be available at the door. Advanced tickets can be purchased online at www.marmion.org/seussical.

A musical perfect for the whole family, "Seussical" takes you into the world of Dr. Seuss, where you will revisit beloved characters including The Cat in the Hat, Louie Auriemma of Aurora; Horton the Elephant, Coley Weed of Sugar Grove; Gertrude McFuzz, Hannah Noel of Sugar Grove; Lazy Mayzie, Marissa Sepulveda of Aurora; and JoJo, Ethan Bello of North Aurora.

The Cat in the Hat guides you into The Jungle of Nool where we see Horton, the kind hearted elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing Whoville. Despite all odds, Horton and Gertrude band together to save the Who's and restore peace and unity to the Jungle of Nool. Now one of the most widely produced musicals in the country, Seussical weaves a story of friendship, loyalty and love. Charming Seussical teaches the power of being unique, and the importance of fighting for your beliefs.

The 60-member cast and crew, under the artistic direction of Kristin Voris and vocal direction of Julianne Vickers, features students from Marmion Academy and Rosary High School as well as area grade school children.
