New pictures revealed for ‘larger-than-life’ Seussical The Musical at Southwark Playhouse this November

Brought to life by a hugely charismatic cast, Seussical the Musical is brimming with fun and excitement for all the family as the fantastical world of Dr. Seuss bursts onto the stage. Set to an electric score, this larger-than-life musical is a high-energy production for ‘thinkers’ of all ages. New pictures released give a first taste of this larger-than-life production.

Coming to Southwark Playhouse from 22nd-29th November at 7:30pm, Marc Pickering (Boardwalk Empire, HBO; Les Misérables, Universal Pictures; Sleepy Hollow, Paramount Pictures) will star as the mischievous Cat in the Hat in Immersion Theatre͛s musical extravaganza.

Director James Tobias comments: “Finding a cast who are able to bring these fantastical, over the top characters to life whilst retaining their truth, heart and integrity is, in my opinion, one of the key ingredients to the success of a show like this. I could not be more thrilled with the company we have assembled and feel immensely privileged and excited to be working with such exceptional talent, on stage and off, to create an unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages this Christmas.”
