FOL Present 'Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day'

Alexander's day continues to go downhill as his teacher doesn't like his drawing of an invisible castle, the shoe store is out of the sneakers he wants, and he accidentally makes a big mess in his dad's office. There's no dessert for lunch, there's lima beans for dinner, and even worse: he has to wear his polka-dot pajamas to bed! It's enough to make Alexander want to move to Australia!

Laugh and sing along with Alexander's misadventures in this hilarious musical. Discover, along with Alexander, that sometimes, everyone has a terrible, horrible, no good very bad day. Even in Australia. Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, a musical produced by Two Beans Productions, began touring in 2006. The book and lyrics for Alexander were writ ten by Judith Viorst, who also wrote the original book upon which the musical is based. Music is by Shelly Markham, with direction by Rob Barron (TheatreworksUSA's Charlotte's Web, Ramona Quimby and Romeo & Juliet) and choreography by Cynthia Thole (TheatreworksUSA's Mike Mulligan, Ferdinand the Bull).

This 60-minute, intermissionless musical, featuring five actors, is appropriate for ages 3-9.
