TROY — The Troy High School music department is ready to put on three magical, fantastical shows this weekend as it presents “Seussical,” its annual spring musical.

The musical comedy, originally created by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, brings to life many of the most popular Dr. Seuss characters and stories, including “The Cat in the Hat,” “Horton Hears a Who!” and “Gertrude McFuzz.”

“This has been an incredibly fun experience for our kids, most of whom grew up with Dr. Seuss books,” director Erik Strope said. “It’s fun to see the characters jump off the pages as our students bring them to life. Everyone has been working so hard and putting their hearts and souls into this; we can’t wait to finally be able to bring it to an audience. We are definitely excited for this weekend!”
