Broadway Junior Musical Shows for Middle Schools
Countless generations and young imaginations have been raised on the fairytales of Hans Christian Andersen. Now with music by legendary composer Frank Loesser and a new book by Timothy Allen McDonald (James and the Giant Peach JR.), Hans Christian Andersen JR.is a musical storybook that brings the tales (and their creator) to life onstage.
Hans Christian Andersen JR. tells the story of 13-year-old Christian, a boy who struggles with reading and writing but discovers a remarkable gift for storytelling. Narrators Crantz and Guilder guide us through the world and fairytales of Hans Christian Andersen, including “The Little Mermaid,” “Thumbelina,” and “The Ugly Duckling”. A misfit in a new city, Christian escapes his troubles through his stories. When his storytelling catches the attention of his teacher and even royalty, Christian realizes he has a special gift to share with the world.
A family-friendly show with generous ensemble roles, Hans Christian Andersen JR. is a timeless treasure. This is a great opportunity for young performers to hone their storytelling skills.
