The Olivier Award-nominated and critically acclaimed family show about a moustachioed, environmentally friendly critter, Dr Seuss’s The Lorax, returns to The Old Vic stage.

Dazzlingly funny, inspiring and moving, the show sees the go-getting Once-ler go toe-to-toe with the magical, big-hearted Lorax, competing for the beloved truffula trees and, in turn, the whole of Paradise Valley.

Based on the 1971 Dr Seuss book, the show is adapted for the stage by David Greig. Dr Seuss’s The Lorax is choreographed by Olivier Award winning Drew McOnie, with music and lyrics by Noah And The Whale frontman, Charlie Fink. The stunning set is designed by Tony and three-time Olivier Award winning designer, Rob Howell.

Simon Paisley Day reprises his starring role as The Once-ler from the show’s 2015 run, where it was Olivier-nominated for ‘Best Entertainment’.

Dr Seuss’s The Lorax explodes onto the stage with eye-popping colour, gorgeous puppetry and infectious music, enchanting audiences young and old alike.
