* A meta example: On August 10, 2013, the town of Newton, Connecticut put on a performance of Seussical. Why would this be a tearjerker, you may ask? Newton, CT was the site of the Sandy Hook shooting that happened on December 14, 2012. The director wrote that putting on a production of the show with themes of love, loyalty, hope, and staying true to oneself made sense during a time of tragedy; no matter what, we stay together.
** The director also shares a story how during rehearsal, the person playing Horton wasn't putting his all into the scene. The director told him that his promise to the dust speck that the Whos were on had to be an absolute commitment. He also went on to say that if you can't connect with your character in a natural way, you have to use your own history as part of your character's history. When they went through the scene again, the actor playing Horton could barely hold back his tears. He claimed that this was one of the purest acting moments he had ever saw.

Lynn tells him, "I couldn't stop crying throughout the whole show!" The writer responds with, "Neither could I, Lynn. Neither could I."
