Wow… it seems like just yesterday that Nancy Drew: Girl Detective finished its run (wait… that was just Sunday!) and already I’m into a new show! Yes indeed, I’m starting rehearsals for my eleventh OKTC show (and my second summer show) today: The Big Bad Musical!

The Big Bad Musical is right up my alley; it’s a very silly musical with crazy characters and loads of opportunity for onstage antics.

What is more gripping than a courtroom battle live on stage – especially when song and dance breaks out? No courtroom has ever been more lively and fun than in The Big Bad Musical! The jury must decide the outcome of the biggest trial ever in the fairy-tale world – a class action suit against the Big Bad Wolf, sued by the revengeful fairy tale plaintiffs: Little Red Riding Hood, her Grandmother, the Three Little Pigs and the Boy Who Cried Wolf. With Syd Grimm as the anchor on live Court TV, the two greatest legal minds in the Enchanted Forest — the Evil Stepmother and the Fairy Godmother — clash in this crazy and mind-bending trial. Was Wolf born a criminal, or made one? As our musical-comedy performers can testify, you can gamble that there will be absolutely NO ORDER in this hilarious Court where Original Kids will be found “GUILTY” of causing laughter and delight for all!

I’ve got a cast of 25 young actors, 16 of whom are brand-new to OKTC (hmm… sounds familiar?). I am really looking forward to working with a team of artistic staff again as well! Tickets are on sale already, so you’ll want to snatch up yours right away! There are seven performances to enjoy!
