In this vaudevillian romp, Elephant and Piggie sing and dance their way through plenty of pachydermal peril and swiney suspense.
Get ready for a musical experience, taken straight from the pages of Mo Willems’ beloved, award-winning, best-selling children’s books, that will leave audiences doing the “Flippy Floppy Floory” dance all night long. Based on Mo Willem’s beloved Children’s books, best, best, “bestus” friends Gerald and Piggie are each other’s perfect complement. Gerald worries that something could go wrong that would end their friendship. Piggie is not worried at all. She’s even happier and more excited than usual. That’s because she and Gerald are invited to a party hosted by the Squirrelles, three singing squirrels who love to have a good time. And so begins a day when anything is possible.
“Mo Willems’ Elephant & Piggie books are adored by young readers, so bringing their playful, high-energy friendship back to our stage was an easy choice for us. This show is pure joy—an interactive, exuberant celebration of silliness, storytelling, and the sweetness of best friends.” – SCCT CEO Katie O’Kelly
