Bring the whole family to the world’s number one The Cat in the Hat show for an experience they’ll never forget. This beloved story has entertained generations for more than 50 years, and kids still love it just as much as you did.

Two bored kids. One rainy day. And one mischievous cat in a red-striped hat. Adapted for the stage by the National Theatre of Britain, this lively production brings Dr. Seuss’s classic tale to life with humor, imagination, and nonstop energy. Using only 200 words, Dr. Seuss created a timeless story that celebrates creativity, curiosity, and the joy of making your own fun.

When the Cat in the Hat unexpectedly appears in Sally and her brother’s cozy home, chaos and laughter follow. With help from Thing One and Thing Two and plenty of concern from the ever-watchful Fish the Cat fills the theatre with madcap antics, playful lessons, and memorable moments. As the Cat reminds us, “It’s fun to have fun, but you have to know how.”

This energetic adaptation bursts onto the stage with laughs, surprises, and just the right amount of delightful disorder perfect for audiences of all ages.
