It is a dark and stormy night…and Chester (the Monroe
family cat) and Harold (the family dog) sit waiting for their owners to
return home from the movies. When the Monroes finally do arrive home, they
come bearing a surprise: they’ve found a bunny in the movie theater. But
when the family’s produce starts losing it’s juice, Chester thinks he knows
what’s causing the fantastic phenomenon…this bunny is a vampire! Singing
and dancing their way through this hilarious mystery, the furry friends find
room in their hearts, and in their home, for one very unique bunny.
Originally premiered at the Seattle Children’s Theater, Bunnicula is
a clever stage rendering of the classic first installment of James Howe’s

Norton Juster’s beloved children’s book is given the
full musical treatment in this acclaimed stage version of the modern tale of
a boy (Milo) who must save the princesses “Rhyme” and “Reason,” and reunite
the brother Kings who rule over the cities of “Dictionopolis” and “Digitopolis.”
Aided by a trusty time-keeping dog, Milo successfully brings harmony to the
Land of Wisdom and learns many things about words and numbers along his
journey. With a script adapted by Mr. Juster himself, witty lyrics by
Sheldon Harnick (Fiddler on the Roof, She Loves Me) and a melodious
score by Arnold Black, The Phantom Tollbooth is an endearing show
that appeals to audiences of all ages. Directed by Chris Serface.

of optimism, determination and friendship – with plenty of fun, excitement
and yodeling to boot!
