jack and the beanstalk
A Ribtickling Musical Holiday Extravaganza by Dafydd Rees and Stephen Russell.
wednesday at 9:30 am
A Ribtickling Musical Holiday Extravaganza by Dafydd Rees and Stephen Russell. Rock 'n' roll classics mix with a storytelling style straight from the British Isles for an evening that goes from 0 to 60 JPMs (Jokes-Per-Minute) at the drop of a magic legume. It's the old story about a boy (Jack) and a bag of beans (soon to be a beanstalk), a cow, a giant, an enraged French chef, a GPS with a mind of its own, the Village People, a suspiciously hairy older woman, a King, a Princess, and our brave and plucky lad's not-so brave or bright sister. Houses will tumble, Pastries will crumble (they're only made of paper maiché) and true love is here to stay. You'll laugh! You'll laugh some more! You'll laugh even more in the Second Act and maybe even win a prize! You won't cry at all, except when you realize the show's over, but then you'll remember you can still come again another night and instantly feel better!
