City Theatre & Orlando Repertory Theatre’s Production of
THE BRAND NEW KID
Adapted by Michael Friedman and Melanie Marnich
From the Children’s Book by Katie Couric
This delightful kids’ musical is about being different and overcoming teasing through the power of acceptance and friendship. Lazlo S. Gasky has just moved to the United States to start his first day of second grade – where he finds the funny way he talks and looks makes him the target of the other kids’ teasing. But when popular Ellie McSnelly decides to take a chance on him, all the kids learn that our differences are what make us great.
“As loving and wonderful as they are,” Katie Couric says, “children can sometimes be cruel. Kindness can be taught, and perhaps we can all do a better job helping our children learn about tolerance and inclusion.” This idea is central to The Brand New Kid and extends to include children who are misunderstood and feeling left out for any number of reasons. A great way to teach children about tolerance and kindness to others, this lively musical is a treat for all audiences.
