The fun begins right when you enter the theater-center stage is a 20' Birthday Cake, blue icing, sprinkles, and candles---yum! It's a surprise party for Betty-and your invited. Shhhh! Here she comes. SURPRISE!! The surprises continue in the title piece. Kevin has an extraordinary case of the hiccups. Doctor Kathy comes up with the perfect cure with a little help from a dancing dinosaur. In the musical number, Dreams Come True, an ordinary pizza-delivery guy gets a chance to realize his dreams of being in show business. Throwing caution and his grandfather's edict--that the family business is pizza making-Kevin sings and dances his way to stardom! The merriment continues non-stop in the classic That's Good. Struggling student Kathy discovers not only the importance of being honest in school but also the importance of being courageous and helpful to others and being a very quick thinker. In A Day in the Jungle the audience joins Ted and Kevin on a musical safari that gets the audience ready for the thrilling finale. Kaitlin's puppy is lost! You join the company in the search-dancing, singing and drawing her puppy home!
