SEUSSICAL is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza that creates the witty, wild and whimsical world of Dr. Seuss as it has never been seen before. When chaos erupts in the Jungle of Nool, it will take the Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, and a gaggle of wonderful characters to bring harmony to their world.

Written by Tony Award winners Lynn Ahrens & Stephen Flaherty, SEUSSICAL is now one of the most performed shows in America. All profits from SEUSSICAL will be donated to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead.

Part reflection, part psychological analysis, What Makes Us Tick? is a highly personal account of the things Mackay has learnt from the experience of listening to people talk about their dreams, their fears, their faith, their hopes, their disappointments, their frustrations and their fantasies. In his previous books Hugh has documented the trends that have been reshaping our society. Now the focus is on us as individuals, and Mackay’s conclusions go to the heart of some of life’s big questions. What Makes Us Tick? is provocative, insightful and inspiring work from one of Australia’s great thinkers.

Hugh Mackay is a psychologist, social researcher and novelist. He has a master’s degree in moral philosophy and was one of the founders of the St James Ethics Centre. His publication, The Mackay Report, was the benchmark of social research in Australia for over thirty years. In recognition of his pioneering work in social research, Hugh has been awarded honorary doctorates from the University of NSW, Macquarie and Charles Sturt universities. His most recent books are Advance Australia…Where?, Ways of Escape, Right & Wrong, Winter Close. Hugh is currently working on his sixth novel.

Glen Street was honoured to welcome Tanya Pearson’s Sydney City Youth Ballet to the stage with excerpts from Cinderella, father and daughter singing sensations, Stuart and Lucy Maunder, father and son dancing sensations, Warren Kermond and Wayne Scott Kermond, as well as talented students from NIDA and the John Collet School.
