National Tour of KNUFFLE BUNNY Comes to the Orpheum, 4/16
The Kennedy Center production of Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Musical is coming to The Orpheum Theatre on Saturday evening, April 16th at 6:00 PM as part of The Orpheum Theatre Family Series
If you've ever felt lost, then you'll know just how Trixie's favorite stuffed Knuffle Bunny feels when he's left all alone. If you've ever felt loved, then you'll know just how Trixie, Knuffle Bunny, and their family feel when they're together.
It sounds so simple, just a quick trip to the Laundromat with Daddy, Trixie, and her beloved Knuffle Bunny. But, before you know it things go horribly and hilariously wrong. Chock full of adventure, song, and gigantic dancing laundry, Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Musical tells a tale of firsts: a stuffed animal's first trip in the laundry, a little girl's first words, and a Daddy's first time dealing with his child going "boneless." Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Musical a story about family, best friends, baby steps, and memories that last a lifetime.
