SEUSSICAL THE MUSICAL
THE CAT: This story bring Seussian tales up to the times,
Chock full of morals and filled up with rhymes.
So sit still, 'cause how can our show be a bore--
With elephants singing and small kids at war?
JOJO: I'm so misunderstood. When I hit puberty, I'm going to be such an emo teenager.
JOJO'S PARENTS: Whatever you do, don't think for yourself, or you're grounded.
THE CAT: It's okay, Jojo-- We know how you feel,
Dreaming up things that really aren't real.
I think what you need is an elephant friend
Who finds you and drops you again and again.
HORTON: They all think I'm crazy, but I'm not. Much like Jojo, I'm a misunderstood visionary, which is why our theatre-going crowd can so easily identify with me. There's a very palpable reason for why I'm hearing voices that I can't see.
SOUR KANGAROO: I really don't like Horton.
WICKERSHAMS: Let's make his life miserable for no apparent reason!
EVERYONE IN THE JUNGLE: Yeah!
THE CAT: And so more things happened in our little Who-bubble.
Jojo kept thinking and getting in trouble.
Horton was captured and sold as a clown.
And his elephant smile is now just a frown.
HORTON: It's all my fault. I lost the Whos. Again! They're going to be eaten or crushed or drowned or set on fire or dropped or fried! I just have to save them, because after all--
PRO-LIFE ACTIVISTS: A person's a person no matter how small!
THE CAT: Excuse me, dear friends, but I think you should know--
You're nasty, and you don't belong in our show.
But we'll leave your kind in, oh yes. 'Cause what's more--
It's people like you who started our war!
GEN. SCHMITZ: I LOVE WAR!
JOJO: I want to go home.
HUNCHES: Weeeeee'reeeee creeeeeepy.... But just follow this path, and you'll be home before supper.
JOJO'S PARENTS: Jojo! Our son! You've come home, and now we appreciate you and your loony thoughts!
JOJO: Score.
SOUR KANGAROO & WICKERSHAMS: We still hate Horton. Let's destroy everything that means anything to him, starting with the Who planet.
HORTON: NO!
EVERYONE ELSE: YES!
HORTON: NO!
EVERYONE ELSE: YES!
JOJO: YOPP!!
ALL: -Gasp!-
SOUR KANGAROO: Well, damn.
THE CAT: And that's it, dear audience. Our story's now through.
It's really been jolly performing for you.
I hope you remember what you've learned tonight:
Always watch out for the conservative right.
That took some thinking. xD
