Even though the lively musical with a cast of colorful characters is sold out, you can enjoy perusing this slideshow of some of COFAP’s great work.

The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Horton the Elephant and other Dr. Seuss favorites are among colorful characters featured in COFAP’s sold-out Seussical the Musical, which opens tonight. The exhilarating performance brings the audience into the sherbet-hued Jungle of Nool as wild animals and Whos alike sing and dance in an extraordinary array of uplifting and touching musical numbers. Prepare to stomp your feet, laugh and clap as you enjoy this breathtaking ride at breakneck speed.
