TRUE STORIES

The satirical "True Story of the Three Little Pigs" features B.B. Wolf, protesting from prison his innocence in a recent crime wave and offering his version of the events, which, as he says, are all about "a sneeze and a cup of sugar". With a musical score ranging from rockabilly to street bebop, "Pigs" delightfully skewers everything from celebrity criminals to new-agers to NIMBYS. Interwoven with "Pigs" is the hilarious and touching "The Frog Prince, Continued" which tells the story never told: what happens after "happily ever". When tensions reach the breaking point in his marriage to the Princess, the Frog Prince goes on a quest to find someone who will turn him back into a frog. Gary Rue's beautiful melodies and Kent Stephens' clever lyrics will have you laughing and crying at the same time. Recommended for producing groups and audiences of all ages.
