Join the inquisitive, lovable little monkey Curious George, star of books, movies and the award-winning PBS television show, in this delightful new musical from Theatreworks USA.
“Curious George: The Golden Meatball” will take place on Saturday, March 10 at 2 p.m. on the Westermann Stage, Concert Hall in the Adelphi University Performing Arts Center located at 1 South Ave. in Garden City. This production is recommended for children in grades pre-K through 3 and their families.
All–you-can-eat Meatball Day comes just once a year. George has waited all month for that day, a day almost bigger than his birthday. On Meatball Day, George helped his friend Chef Pisghetti cook some delicious meatballs and serve them to the hungry crowd.
But this year, the crowd vanished. Something was keeping people away. Something pretty big. And that “something” was Phinneas T. Lightspeed and his speedy Meatballs O’Matic machine. In despair, Chef Pisghetti vows to cook no more. Determined to help his friend, George goes on a mission to enter the chef’s meatballs in the world-famous Golden Meatball Contest… in Rome. With every swing and flip, George takes the audience through a fun-filled adventure in which he learns more about Rome — and meatballs — and the “secret ingredient” to cooking.
