Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Alexander is having a bad day. A terrible day. A horrible day. To be quite honest, it's a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. But then, everybody has bad days, sometimes. In this delightful adaptation of her popular book, Judith Viorst sets Alexander's rather trying life to music and brings to the stage one of America's feistiest characters.

Laugh and sing along with Alexander as he wakes up with gum in his hair, trips on a skateboard, and accidentally drops his sweater in the sink — all before breakfast! And it only gets worse... his best friend deserts him and there is no dessert in his lunch bag! On top of all that, there are lima beans for dinner! It’s enough to make anyone want to move to Australia.

The play takes place over the course of one day in the life of an average American 2nd grader with a mother, father, two siblings and a finely honed sense of injustice. He NEVER laughs, but everyone else will.
