INTERACTIVE MUSICAL/YOUNG AUDIENCES. Adapted from the children’s story by Beatrix Potter. Peter Rabbit’s mother warns him to never venture into Farmer McGregor’s vegetable garden since Peter’s father was caught by Farmer McGregor and made into a pie. But instead of picking berries with his sisters, the adventurous Peter raids Farmer McGregor’s garden and gorges himself on vegetables. Soon Farmer McGregor spots Peter and chases him out of the garden. Peter escapes but finds that he is now lost and tangled in gooseberry netting. Peter must find a way to free himself from the netting and find his way home but not before he encounters some sparrows, a mouse, and even a conniving cat! Young audiences will love this charming musical with its comical characters and five original songs. Perfect for touring!
