SCENE FOR JoJo
JoJo:
Now that is a very unusual hat
I wonder what’s under a hat such as that.
It could be a creature they call the Ga-Zat
Who balances things on his head, ‘cause it’s flat.
Or a stripe-loving Pipester from Upper Mount Bat.
Or a sort of a kind of a hat-wearing…
(JoJo picks up the hat and The Cat in the Hat suddenly appears.)
Cat!
*******************************
SCENE FOR THE CAT IN THE HAT
Cat: (to JoJo)
Our story begins with a very strange sound:
The drums of a jungle beginning to pound!
(They begin to drum)
Now imagine the sky.
JoJo:
I’ll imagine bright blue!
Cat:
It’s the Jungle of Nool.
JoJo:
Near the River Walloo!
SCENE FOR THE CAT IN THE HAT
Cat:
Then he heard it again,
Calling over and over –
Mayor (offstage):
Help!
Cat:
So he tried to think
Who might be down on that
Clover.
An invisible world! Amazing but true!
And guess who now enters the story?
JoJo:
Who?
Cat:
You!
*********************************
SCENE FOR MR. AND MRS. MAYOR
Mr. Mayor:
JoJo! The tub’s overflowed on the floor!
The water is running right under the door!
Mrs. Mayor:
The ceiling is peeling!
You’ve flooded the den!
Oh, JoJo, I think you’ve been thinking again!
Mr. Mayor:
I say this with firmness and terrible sorrow.
Young man, we will deal with you come tomorrow!
***********************************
SCENE FOR HORTON
Horton:
Hello…hello? (casually to his clover)
JoJo:
Hello?
Horton:
Who’s there?
JoJo:
It’s me, JoJo. The Mayor’s son.
Horton:
I’m Horton. The Elephant.
JoJo:
Are you real, or are you a very large Think?
Horton:
Oh, I’m real, all right. I would state that in ink.
JoJo:
In my Thinks, I imagine a lot of strange things, and I go to strange places, as if I had wings! I love a good Think!
Horton:
Well, for me that goes double.
JoJo:
Sometimes my Thinks are what get me in trouble.
Horton:
When you think, do you dream?
JoJo:
In bright colors!
And I go to strange places, like Solla Sollew!
JoJo:
When you think, do you think you could fly to the stars?
Horton:
Little friend, no one else could have Thinks such as ours!
*****************************************
SCENE FOR CAT
Cat (as Newscaster):
This is the Cat in the Hat
Live from Skycam Five.
Folks, the Jungle of Nool
Is one heck of a drive.
We’ve got monkeys backed up
To the Three-Oh-Two…
I’d find alternate routes
If I were you…
*******************************************
SCENE FOR HORTON AND MAYZIE
Horton:
Why, Mayzie, I couldn’t. Of all silly things!
I haven’t got feathers. I haven’t got wings.
And not only that, but I’m here on a search.
I just couldn’t leave my poor Who’s in the lurch!
Mayzie:
I won’t be gone long, kid. I give you my word.
I’ll hurry right back, ‘cause I’m that sort of bird!
Oh, Horton, I promise! I’ll fly back real soon.
I’d only be gone for, say, one afternoon!
(Horton considers this.)
Horton:
(relenting)
Well…we all need vacation.
All right, go on, take it.
I’ll sit on your egg
And I’ll try not to break it.
But please come back quickly--
One hour, maybe two.
I need to find JoJo.
I’ve got to save Who!
Mayzie:
Hi it, Cat! Thanks. Thanks a million! Toodle-oooo!!
**************************************
SCENE FOR GERTRUDE
Gertrude:
I’ll bet you forgot
About Gertrude McFuzz.
Well, that’s nothing new.
I mean, everyone does.
But Gertrude did something
That few birds could do…
So this is the Tale of Miss Gertrude
Part Two.
Pssst!...Horton?
Horton, are you there?
Horton:
What? Who is it?
Gertrude:
It’s me, Gertrude! Horton! Oh, Horton! I was so worried! Are you all right?
Horton:
Gertrude! How did you find us?
Gertrude:
Well, it’s a long story.

OH, THE THINGS YOU CAN THINK!
CAT
Oh, the Thinks you can think
If you're willing to try...

Lining up to get loose...
Oh, the Thinks you can think

From the Planet of Who
BOY
And the smallest of small.

ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE - LYRICS
I've been guarding this clover
For over a week, getting laughed at
For thinking a dust speck can speak
Well, let them all laugh
I'll try not to mind
For I have found something
That they'll never find
There are secrets on a leaf
In the water, in the air
Hidden planets, tiny worlds, all invisible
Not a person seems to know
Not a person seems to care
There is no one who believes a thing I say
Well, I'm fairly certain
At one time or other
Great thinkers all feel this way
I'm alone in the universe
So alone in the universe
I've found magic but they don't see it
They all call me a lunatic
Okay, call me a lunatic
If I stand on my own, so be it
'Cause I have wings
Yes, I can fly around the moon
And far beyond the sky
And one day soon I know there you'll be
One small voice in the universe
One true friend in the universe
Who believes in me
I'm alone in the universe
So alone in the universe
My own planets and stars are glowing
Alone in the universe
No one notices anything
Not one person is listening
They don't have any way of knowing
Nobody knows that
I have wings, I have wings
And I can fly, I can fly
Around the moon and far beyond the sky
Well, someday soon you will hear my plea
One small voice in the universe
One true friend in the universe
Please believe in me
Hello, hello?
Hello?
Who's there?
It's me, Jojo, the Mayor's son
I'm Horton, the Elephant
Are you real or are you a very large think?
Oh, I'm real, alright, I would state that in ink
In my thinks, I imagine a lot of strange things
And I go to strange places, as if I had wings
I love a good think
Well, for me that goes double
Sometimes my thinks are what get me in trouble
When you think, do you dream?
In bright colors
Me too and I go to strange places
Like Solla Sollew
When you think, do you think you can fly to the stars?
Ah, little friend, no one else could have thinks such as ours
Yes, I have wings, I have wings
And I can fly, I can fly
Around the moon
And far beyond the sky
You called my name and you set me free
One small voice in the universe
One true friend in the universe
Who believes in me
Goodnight, Jojo
Goodnight, Horton
See you in Solla Sollew
I've been guarding this clover
For over a week, getting laughed at
For thinking a dust speck can speak
Well, let them all laugh
I'll try not to mind
For I have found something
That they'll never find
There are secrets on a leaf
In the water, in the air
Hidden planets, tiny worlds, all invisible
Not a person seems to know
Not a person seems to care
There is no one who believes a thing I say
Well, I'm fairly certain

So alone in the universe

'Cause I have wings
Yes, I can fly around the moon
And far beyond the sky
And one day soon I know there you'll be

So alone in the universe
My own planets and stars are glowing
Alone in the universe
No one notices anything
Not one person is listening
They don't have any way of knowing
Nobody knows that
I have wings, I have wings
And I can fly, I can fly
Around the moon and far beyond the sky
Well, someday soon you will hear my plea
One small voice in the universe
One true friend in the universe

HOW LUCKY ARE YOU - lyrics
I was down in Fort Worth
Just a girl on the wing
When I met Tweet McFirth
Oh, could that fellow sing
Tell yourself how lucky you are
(How lucky, how lucky you are)
It was three weeks of bliss
Then the usual segue
He flew off to San Juan
Leaving me with this egg
Tell yourself how lucky you are
(How lucky you are)
Now I'm bored and I'm cranky and tired
Sitting day after day
Who knew so much work was required?
I'd much rather play
I need a vacation, I'm due for some rest
Hey, Horton, would you maybe like to sit on my nest?
Well, we all need vacations
Alright go on take it
I'll sit on your egg and try not to break it
But please come back quickly
One hour maybe two, I need to find Jojo
I've got to save Who
Hit it cat
I was down in Fort Worth
Just a girl on the wing
When I met Tweet McFirth
Oh, could that fellow sing
Tell yourself how lucky you are
(How lucky, how lucky you are)
It was three weeks of bliss
Then the usual segue
He flew off to San Juan
Leaving me with this egg
Tell yourself how lucky you are
(How lucky you are)
Now I'm bored and I'm cranky and tired
Sitting day after day
Who knew so much work was required?
I'd much rather play
I need a vacation, I'm due for some rest
Hey, Horton, would you maybe like to sit on my nest?
Well, we all need vacations
Alright go on take it
I'll sit on your egg and try not to break it
But please come back quickly
One hour maybe two, I need to find Jojo
I've got to save Who
Hit it cat
