Cat in the Hat

This Cat in the Hat performance has been presented more than 300 performances in over 60 cities and recognized by the Dr. Seuss estate as the “Number 1 version of the show worldwide.” Written by Theodor “Dr. Seuss” Geisel in 1957 using a vocabulary of only 200 words, The Cat in the Hat has become an enduring work of children’s literature. The book was adapted for the stage in 2009 by the National Theatre of Great Britain, translating its rhythmic language, recognizable characters, and visual imagination into live theater. This performance follows the book’s familiar story as the Cat turns the house upside down with the help of Thing One and Thing Two. Before the children’s mother returns, the Cat deploys the red Picker-Up Machine to put everything back in place. The stage adaptation combines physical comedy, theatrical surprises, and inventive design while preserving the playful tension between disorder and responsibility at the heart of the original story. This performance is suitable for ages 3 and up.
