Back by popular demand, the Long Island Children’s Museum will present Elephant & Piggie’s: “We Are in a Play!”
Children ages 2 and up, along with their caretakers, will enjoy this musical adventure, ripped from the pages of Mo Willems’ beloved, award-winning children’s books, with lyrics by Deborah Wicks La Puma.
Willems’ classic characters Elephant and Piggie storm the stage in a rollicking musical romp filled with plenty of pachydermal peril and swiney suspense perfect for young audiences.
Carefully cautious Gerald and spirited playful Piggie share a day where anything is possible in an imaginative exploration of the meaning of friendship.
The comedic duo addresses such important questions as: What do you wear to a fancy pool costume party? Should you share your ice cream? And how can two friends play with one toy?
Together with nutty back-up singers called the Squirrelles, the duo even gets the audience involved in the action.
Elephant & Piggie’s “We Are in a Play!” is a perfect way to introduce young people to theatre. The show is produced with permission of Music Theater International.
