I must say this is one of the better compilations of vocal selections of a Broadway show out there. If you've heard the CD or seen the show, there are no surprises cause the songs play exactly as you know them. Since it's not listed anywhere else on this page, here are the songs included:

Oh, The Thinks You Can Think
Horton Hears A Who
Biggest Blame Fool
A Day For The Cat In The Hat
It's Possible
The Military
Alone in the Universe
Amayzing Mayzie
How Lucky You Are
Notice Me, Horton
Solla Sollew
Havin' A Hunch
All For You

This was a wonderful book. The musical is wonderful, and it is so nice to play these on my piano. The music sounds just like the soundtrack. The words and music are all right. I would recommend it to any "SEUSSICAL" lover.

This is the songbook to my favorite musical of all time. It has VERY accurate music, seeing as a lot of the music in the actual musical is piano, it sounds almost exactly like the soundtrack. I would reccoment this book to anyone of any age, whether you sing, or play the piano. it is so great. i would give it more stars if i could.

An excellent vocal/piano selection book for this energetic and wonderful musical!
The songs are all playable, but some are more difficult than others. Though some are easily sight-readable.

One note I would like to make is that both Amazon.com and other reviewers have listen "Havin' a Hunch" as a song in the list, that is not the case with my book. My book, which has a 2001 print year, contains "Green Eggs & Ham" which is the ending bow music. So, just for clarification, as of 2001 printings, "Havin' a Hunch" does not appear to be included which was slightly disappointing - but a minor problem overall.

The song list (as it appears in my book is)

Oh, the Thinks you can Think
Horton Hears a Who
Biggest Blame Fool
A Day for the Cat in the Hat
It's Possible (McElligot's Pool)
The Military
Alone in the Universe
Amayzing Mayzie
How Lucky You Are
Notice Me, Horton
Solla Sollew
All for You
Green Eggs and Ham

"Oh the Thinks you can Think" is an abbreviated version of the original, which contains the main chorus, and the book includes all the chorus.

"Horton Hears a Who" is presented in it's entirety with both Horton & the Bird Girls parts and harmonies.

"Biggest Blame Fool" has been arranged and cut into a big belting number for the Sour Kangaroo with back up from Chorus members.

"A Day for the Cat in the Hat" is presented here almost in it's entirety, but appears to be lacking the dance break

"It's Possible" contains the McElligot's Pool section in it's entirety with harmonies, but minus the dance break

"The Military" appears to be presented in it's entirety.

"Alone in the Universe" is presented here in it's entirety but minus the underscore section in the middle for the dialogue between Jojo & Horton.

"Amayzing Mayzie" is presented in it's entirety, with all parts for Mayzie, Gertrude, & the bird girls

"How Lucky You Are" is the Cat in the Hat's version of the song and is presented in it's entirety

"Notice Me, Horton" is presented in it's entirety.

"Solla Sollew" is presented in it's entirety, but the various solo lines have been combined into one solo line with alternate lyrics. Though the chorus part with all harmonies is still presented.

"All For You" is presented in it's entirety.

"Green Eggs & Ham" Is all here too!

The book contains two pages of pictures of the production, though I would have enjoyed more pictures since there are only a few. But I greatly enjoy this book! It's a great buy!

This musical is up there with Joseph and the Technicolor dreamcoat. I Love listening to it! It turns Dr. Suesses books into somthing that I can sing to which is really cool. I encourage everyone to listen to this musical I guarentee you will love it and be instantly hooked!

This is a wonderful musical, with lots of very fun and catchy music. I own this piano book, but am a little disappointed that more songs were not included. Seussical has SO many songs, and there are only 13 in this book. Many other piano books for musicals include ALL the songs in the show, so this is a bit of a disappointment.

I performed in this musical as a wickersham brother, so i know how many songs were in this show and how many songs were included in the songbook, and only about 48% of the songs from the play are in this book! Some of my favorite ones aren't even in there! However, it does have some of the songs I like, like "Oh the thinks you can think!".

My 5 year old son and I saw this show over the summer and we gave him this soundtrack for his birthday in October. He loves listening to it and remembering what he saw on stage, as do I. And he loves expalining the details to his older brother who did not see the show, but loves the music equally as much. A lively soundtrack that I don't tire of listing too in the car. We all love it.

As other reviewers mentioned, the arrangements are good and those familiar with the show will generally find no surprises. It is worth mentioning, however, that it is based on the original 2000 Broadway production. This means that some songs are included that may not have been in your production (A Day for the Cat in the Hat). The only reason I docked it a star is because of the omission of my two year-old daughter's favorite song - The One Feather Tail Of Miss Gertrude McFuzz. I realize that song is only a minute long, but that's all she wants me to play when we get out the book... and I can't.

Hopefully the trend toward restoring Americana's wonderful musical theatre productions to an important part of our culture will strengthen. Who can resist the compassionate views of human-kind written by the icon, Dr. Seuss. ADORABLE
