THE TRUE STORY OF THE THREE LITTLE PIGS Comes to the Derby Dinner Playhouse

By: Sep. 29, 2016

THE TRUE STORY OF THE THREE LITTLE PIGS allows the audience to be the jury as the Big Bad Wolf is put on trial for his "supposed" crimes against the three pigs. This is a hilarious rock musical led by Lillian Magill, a top pig reporter who is covering the courtroom drama. The audience gets to hear both sides and then decides whether the Wolf is guilty or innocent, thereby determining how the play will end. As the playwright says, it is "A thrilling courtroom dram-edy...with music! And ham!"

The musical version of THE TRUE STORY OF THE THREE LITTLE PIGS was adapted from the popular children's book written by Joe Scieszka and Lane Smith. The book and lyrics were written by Robert Kauzlaric and the music was composed by Paul Gilvary and William Rush. Musical numbers featured are "Piggsylvanian National Anthem", "Cheeseburgers Ain't Cute", "Piggy World", "Al's Side Of The Story", and more!

THE TRUE STORY OF THE THREE LITTLE PIGS is under the direction of Jim Hesselman and the cast will include Bill Hanna as Alexander T. Wolf, Sandra Rivera, Megan Massie, Kristin Gilbert, and Kiersten Vorheis.

All public performances of THE TRUE STORY OF THE THREE LITTLE PIGS feature a kid friendly menu and are one hour in length. This production is most suitable for ages 3 - 12.
