Full Synopsis

Dr. Seuss's The Sneetches is created for orchestra and one narrator. Bringing the classic tale to life with an original and brilliant score by Lorenzo Palomo. 

The Sneetches are strange yellow birds who live on a beach. The star-bellied Sneetches are popular, while the plain-bellied Sneetches are shunned. Looking to exploit these differences for his own selfish gain, Sylvester McMonkey McBean arrives, promising he can remove or add a star to the stomach of a Sneetch with the help of a special machine. After taking the Sneetches for all they are worth, Sylvester packs up his inventions and leaves the land of the Sneetches. The Sneetches realize they have been duped, but discover that their differences are what makes them each special in their own way.
