THE LORAX


H. ADAM HARRIS LENDS HIS VOICE by lisa lipsey


The Old Globe, together with the Minneapolis Children’s Theatre Company and in partnership with London’s West


End Old Vic Theatre, are bringing a new musical to San Diego, Dr. Seuss’sThe Lorax. The production, based on the book The Lorax by Dr. Seuss, was adapted for the stage by David Greig (artistic director of Royal Lyceum Theatre Company with music and lyrics written by Charlie Fink (front man/songwriter for the hit musical group Noah and the Whale). The critically-acclaimed and Olivier Award-nominated musical tells the story of the silky soft Truffula trees. They


provide the perfect ingredient for a nifty new garment, but when demand skyrockets, who will speak for all the trees in the Truffula forest? Enter the Lorax. The Old Globe’s Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein says, “Having Dr. Seuss’sThe Lorax at The Old Globe


is exciting in a slew of ways, but two stand out. First, the story itself is charming, fun, and timely, and this theatrical adaptation of it is just a thrill to watch…The second wonderful thing aboutThe Lorax in our season is that it continues our relationship with San Diego’s own Dr. Seuss. This relationship spans two decades in whichThe Grinch has brought his unique wit and heart to our audiences. NowThe Loraxjoins him as a member of the Globe family. I can’t wait.”
