Do you like Green Eggs and Ham? This fully-staged orchestral adaptation of Dr. Seuss’s beloved children’s classic, cleverly composed by Robert Kapilow and featuring the unstoppable Sam-I-Am, is a feast for the ears! This “merry, whiz-bang romp through the Dr. Seuss classic” (The Star-Ledger) seamlessly incorporates sophisticated references to familiar classical and popular music with a timeless parable about prejudice.
