Though the characters may be familiar, many favorite storybook fables are uproariously derailed in this adaptation of Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith’s quintessential children’s book of fractured fairy tales. Everything from “Chicken Little” to “The Gingerbread Man” gets a complete makeover. Fun music and witty narration accompany the likes of ineloquent giants, sassy barnyard animals, colossal cow pies, and enough stinky cheese to go around.
Genre: A comedy with music

You will delight to hear songs from South Pacific, My Fair Lady, Fiddler On The Roof, Man Of La Mancha, Camelot, Oliver, Les Miserable, Phantom Of The Opera and many more. Over the years, Don has had the pleasure of performing many of the roles in the musicals from which these songs originate. So, take a ride with Don Disantis on vocals, Karin Tooley on keyboard, Brian Dorr on bass, George Judy on drums and Mike Fisher on trumpet as we travel the Great White Way and present the classic songs of Broadway.
