The Great American Mousical
Music by Zina Goldrich
Lyrics by Marcy Heisler
Book by Hunter Bell
Based on the book by Julie Andrews and Emma Walton Hamilton
Directed by Julie Andrews
Choreographed by Tony Award–winner Christopher Gattelli
Associate Director Stefanie Anarumo
Below the bright lights of Broadway, in the depths of the historic Sovereign Theatre, an acting troupe of mice rehearses their new musical. When the theatre is threatened by demolition and their diva Adelaide disappears, it will take all paws on deck to fulfill the time-honored tradition: the show must go on! Filled with singing, dancing, and show biz lore, The Great American Mousical is a sharp and witty tribute to life in the theatre that celebrates those two glorious words: musical comedy!
