Back by popular demand on the LICM stage! Enjoy a musical adventure, ripped from the pages of Mo Willems' beloved award-winning, best-selling children's books. Willems' classic characters Elephant and Piggie storm the stage in a rollicking musical romp filled with plenty of pachydermal peril and swiney suspense perfect for young audiences. Carefully cautious Gerald and spirited playful Piggie share a day where anything is possible in an imaginative exploration of the meaning of friendship. Together with nutty backup singers, The Squirrelles, our comedic duo even gets the audience involved in the action.
This production is presented through a special arrangement with Music Theater International (MTI).
