Description

THE GINGERBREAD KID

Music by Jodi Marr

Book and lyrics by Abe Reybold

In Hill Auditorium


World Premiere


January 27 – February 25, 2024

 

Life is SWEET in this pop music fairy tale frolic. When the magical child of a baking couple accidently eats all of their parents’ sweets, they run away as fast as they can from facing the consequences. As the race builds, Allspice meets a kooky cast of storybook favorites including Henny Penny and her gang, Little Boy Blue, and Foofinella, of Little Bunny Foo Foo fame. Will Allspice always be on the run? Or will a hungry fox stop them in their sugary tracks? A remix of the classic gingerbread man story for a whole new generation.
