Seussical
Horton hears theater
Seussical describes anything resembling the style of children's author Dr.
Seuss—whimsical, nonsensical, featuring made-up words, impossible creatures, and bouncy rhythms: The architecture had a Seussical quality, all curved towers and improbable angles.
The word also refers to the Broadway musical adaptation of his works.
