The Big Bad Musical
By Alec Strum
Music and lyrics by Bill Francoeur
Directed by Jennifer Patrick
Technical Direction by Kevin Patrick
Fairy tales are full of villains, but have you ever heard the wolf's side of the story?
In The Big Bad Musical, the notorious Big Bad Wolf is facing a class-action lawsuit from some of the most famous characters in storybook history: Little Red Riding Hood, her Grandmother, the Three Little Pigs, and more. With Sydney Grimm reporting live on Court TV, the greatest legal minds in the Enchanted Forest face off in a trial that will be remembered forever after. The Evil Stepmother reluctantly defends Mr. Wolf, while the Fairy Godmother prosecutes with fairy-tale flair.
As the witnesses pile up and the evidence mounts, one question looms over the courtroom: was the Big Bad Wolf born a criminal, or made one?
Here's the twist: YOU are the jury. Every audience decides the verdict, and every verdict leads to a different ending, making each performance a one-of-a-kind experience. Packed with toe-tapping original tunes, colorful characters, and plenty of audience participation, The Big Bad Musical is a rollicking good time for everyone from the youngest fairy tale fan to the most seasoned theatregoer.
