We all grew up with Dr. Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat—the one about the jauntily festooned feline who visits two kids on a rainy day and basically wrecks the house.

Now a new stage show at Carousel Theatre for Young People aims to re-create the magic of the storybooks, replete with physical comedy and with Mike Stack in the red-and-white-hatted role. We can’t quite tell you what Thing One and Thing Two will look like, or how the team will bring to life the fantastical house-cleaning machine (where can we get one of those, by the way?), but we can tell you Carousel—which reliably creates eye-pleasing theatre for curious kids—is cut out for taking on this classic at the Waterfront Theatre from Saturday (February 25) to March 26.
