The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe

Performed by a five-member cast who portray dozens of characters throughout the show, the stories represent various issues, themes and ideas relevant to a broad and diverse audience of children. Books featured in the show include:

FANCY NANCY Nancy just doesn’t understand why she’s the only one who appreciated the value of frilly accessories and a prodigious vocabulary. It’s time to teach her family how to be fancy!

BABYMOUSE, THE MUSICAL Curtain up, light the lights! Will the irresistible, irrepressible Babymouse win the lead in the school musical or will Felicia Furrypaws steal the show?

DUCK FOR PRESIDENT The winds of change are blowing, and a politically ambitious Duck is leading the revolution! But can bring a new bill to Capitol Hill?

I HAVE TO GO! Andrew insists that he doesn’t need to use the restroom, but once he’s zipped, snapped, buttoned, and buckled in the backseat, he hears the call of nature.

LEONARDO, THE TERRIBLE MONSTER Though he isn’t big and he can’t seem to frighten anyone, Leonardo just knows he can scare the tuna salad out of the biggest scaredy-cat in school! But maybe it’s better to be a wonderful friend rather than a terrible monster.

PIRATES DON’T CHANGE DIAPERS When Jeremy Jacob’s old seafaring mateys show up to claim a buried treasure, they wake up his little sister, and the whole piratical crew must go on babysitting patrol – or walk the plank!
