UD Summer Stage presents ‘James and the Giant Peach, Jr.’ at Upper Darby Performing Arts Center

Based on Roald Dahl’s classic story, this show is a brand new take on Dahl’s “masterpeach” of a tale. When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that grows a tremendous peach, rolls into the ocean and launches a journey of enormous proportions. James befriends a collection of singing insects that ride the giant piece of fruit across the ocean, facing hunger, sharks and plenty of disagreements along the way. Catchy new music completes the madcap adventures.
