The Little Orchestra Society Presents BABES IN TOYLAND, 12/8

A cast of eighteen singing and dancing toys… a loveable Toymaker and his young apprentice… a dastardly team of entrepreneurial villains… and an army of more than one hundred toy soldiers! The Little Orchestra Society presents a rollicking update of Victor Herbert's 1903 holiday extravaganza, BABES IN TOYLAND, Saturday, December 8, 2012 at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall. James Judd guest conducts the original Herbert score (with some updated lyrics) as vibrant toys come to life to save a run-down toy store from extinction by an evil villain, and to remind us of the true value of friendship, teamwork, helping others, and the power of holiday spirit. The production is directed by John Henry Davis and freshly choreographed by Peggy Hickey. Take a trip to Toyland for the holidays!
