Children's Theatre at Way Off Broadway to Present STINKYKIDS - THE MUSICAL

The Children's Theatre at Way Off Broadway will follow its sold out run of Junie B. Jones - The Musical with the stage adaptation of another popular children's book series this spring. Opening May 14th, StinkyKids - The Musical will begin performances at the area's one-of-a-kind children's theatre venue.

The fun filled stage show revolves around Britt, a six year old who loves making everyone happy. But this girl who never gets in trouble is in a sticky situation - literally: She woke up with an impossibly epic wad of gum stuck in her hair. All of Britt's friends are depending on her parents to take them to the new MegaJumper 3000 at Captain Happy's Jumpy-Fun-Super-Bouncy Indoor Place, so she definitely doesn't want to disappoint anyone. Britt must rely on her mischievous friends to go with her on an unexpected adventure across their neighborhood to solve the problem before her parents find out and possibly cancel the trip!

In 2012, the original New York production of StinkyKids - The Musical, produced by Vital Theatre Company, won the Off Broadway Alliance Award for Best Family Show. Following its initial award-winning production, StinkyKids - The Musical went on to have two more successful New York City runs back-to-back.

The StinkyKids phenomenon started with a book series created by Britt Menzies, who has since gone on to become an award-winning children's author. When asked, Ms. Menzies says it all began when her little daughter asked her to paint a picture of her as a ballerina.

Way Off Broadway's production features a cast that includes Alex Levenson, Matthew Lincoln-Bugg, Melissa Ann Martin, Matt Provance, Jordan B. Stocksdale, and Tori Weaver.

StinkyKids - The Musical has a book and lyrics by Sammy Buck and music by Daniel S. Acquisto, and is directed by Jordan B. Stocksdale.

Children's Theatre performances are every Saturday afternoon, with matinees on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month. Tickets are $17 per person, allowing everyone to be a "kid" that day.

Tickets can be purchased by visiting the theatre or calling the Box Office at (301) 662-6600.

Following StinkyKids - The Musical in the fall will be the return of Disney's 101 Dalmatians to the Children's Theatre at Way Off Broadway.
