I'm just an avid fan of theatre -- I do not work in the industry, and I'm not an "insider". I define regional theatre in the most basic of terms, i.e, professional theatre in the general region of Chicago and its suburbs (which is quite a vast area including Aurora, IL, Munster, IN, and Milwaukee, WI). There are hundreds of small professional (mostly non-equity) theaters in this area. However, the big 4 equity giants are Goodman, Steppenwolf, Victory Gardens, and Chicago Shakespeare. Chicago Shakespeare did Seussical this summer (I saw it) -- I don't think it was part of their subscription series. However, it was performed on their main stage, and the cast included at least one well-known actor (Cory Goodrich) who has appeared on Broadway. There was at least one other production of Seussical in Chicago running concurrently with the Shakespeare one this summer. Both Drury Lane and Lincolnshire Marriott have done productions of it also (although I don't think either one was part of a subscription series). The others have all being done by smaller (probably non-equity) theatre groups.
The show has been a phenomenon in the Chicago area -- quite frankly I've never quite seen anything like it during my 50 years of going to the theatre.
The only other musical approaching Seussical in terms of number of productions over the last 15 years (in the Chicago area) would be The Last Five Years. Nevertheless, it should be pointed out that most of the big commercial theaters that primarily do musicals (Drury Lane, Marriott, Paramount, and Theatre-at-the-Center) have ever done The Last Five Years (or any other Jason Robert Brown musical).
