David Hunter, who reached the semi-finals of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ITV1 search for Jesus for his new arena tour of Jesus Christ Superstar, is to star as Horton the Elephant

Join The Cat in the Hat as he takes you on a journey into the fantastical, bombastical and songtastical world of Dr Seuss. Horton the Elephant discovers a small world floating by on a speck of dust. This small world is floating out of control through the universe and is the home of the Whos, including Jojo – a Who with 'thinks' that defy all description. Between them they must find a way to save Who from a world of naysayers and dangers. But Horton faces a double challenge, he’s been left alone to guard an abandoned egg, abandoned than non other than Mayzie La Bird. Caught between a dust speck and his incubating egg, Horton is truly alone in the universe, but while he faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and ends up on trial, little does he know the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him.
