Aslyn Goodwind, who plays Noolian, said about the Lafayette’s version of the musical “It’s a great production, everyone in it is so friendly and nice. It’s an over all good vibe. Our cast and crew are great!”
Seussical is a musical by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. It is based on the children’s stories of Dr. Seuss, with most of the plot based on Horton Hears a Who! But other stories are in the mix, too. The musical’s name is a portmanteau of “Seuss” and musical. After its Broadway debut in 2000, it has spawned two US national tours and a West End production, and has become a frequent production for schools and regional theatres.
