Seussical, the $10 million musical pastiche of several Seuss stories narrated by Seuss's Cat, has also had its share of bumps on the way to Broadway. Key members of the creative team have been replaced, while lyricist Lynn Ahrens, who wrote Ragtime with her partner Stephen Flaherty...

While Carrey set about inhabiting the character - a task that required wearing a cumbersome costume and painful contact lenses ("I defined him as a big, thick callus," says the star) - Geisel asked for numerous revisions on the screenplay, which is credited to the team of Jeffrey Price and Peter S.
