Our story (and we're stickin' to it!):

A courtroom has never been more lively and fun than in this production of “The Big Bad Musical”!

This smart and wickedly funny musical is great for young actors and audiences – of any age! The jury — you, the audience — must decide the outcome of the biggest trial ever held in the fairy-tale world! The notorious Big Bad Wolf is being slapped with a class-action lawsuit by quirky storybook characters out for revenge: Little Red Riding Hood, her Grandmother, the Three Little Pigs and the Shepherd in charge of the Boy Who Cried Wolf.

With Sydney Grimm as the commentator in this ‘live court TV’drama, the two greatest legal minds in the Enchanted Forest —the Evil Stepmother and the Fairy Godmother — clash in a trial that will be remembered 'forever after'.

As our wronged fairy tale characters testify, the wolf seems deserving of all that’s coming. Yet, Mr. Wolf makes a good case for himself even though his attorney - the infamous Evil Stepmother - resents doing pro-bono work on such an obviously futile defense. Now the question seems to be was he born a criminal or made into one?

This musical has it all — the good, the bad and the ugly, multiple endings to make every performance unique and Bill Francoeur’s toe-tapping tunes!

Come and help decide the fate of poor old Mr. Wolf!!
