Synopsis

Seven all-time favorite stories are dramatized in a fast-paced musical comedy. "Funny, isn't It? How Things Happen in Three?" sings the company in an opening number which traces the recurring "three" through nursery rhymes and poetry. The Three Billy Goats Gruff dispose of the ugly troll, and Goldilocks sings "I Want To Know" as curiosity leads her to the house of the Three Bears. The song "Everyone Should have the Chance to Make Three Wishes" introduces the playing of three tales: The Fisherman and His Wife, The Three Wishes and The Evergreen Who Wishes for Leaves. There is high-spirited audience participation in "What Fun We Had at the Fair," interrupted by the arrival of the big bad wolf.
