The story of Seussical JR is one of friendship, loyalty, and love. The musical takes the whole family into the world of Dr.Seuss where The Cat in the Hat leads us into Nool's Jungle, where we meet Horton, the kind-hearted elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing Whoville. He meets JoJo, a Who child who has been chastised for having too many "thinks." Horton decides to protect a speck of dust on a nearby clover while also protecting an abandoned egg left to him by the lazy Mayzie la Bird. Horton tries to persuade the other animals in The Jungle of the existence of the Whos, but he is mocked and put on trial for insanity. Only his devoted neighbour, Gertrude McFuzz, never loses faith in him, and the two eventually fall in love.
