Young audience members and their families are invited to laugh and sing along to “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day,” the hilarious musical based on the best-selling children’s classic by Judith Viorst and performed by the professional actors of Theatreworks USA.
Alexander's misfortunes - from getting gum in his hair to tripping on a skateboard to learning that a schoolmate doesn't want to be his friend anymore - are captured in this hilarious musical adaptation featuring book and lyrics by Judith Viorst, author of the best-selling children's classic. The younger set will embrace the lesson Alexander learns - that everyone has a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day sometimes...and survives!
