Based on the ever-popular, award-winning 1970s cartoons, this fast-paced, high energy musical teaches lessons with clever, catchy tunes.
The Emmy Award-winning Saturday morning educational cartoon series and pop culture phenomenon follows Tom, a young schoolteacher, who is nervous about his first day of teaching. He tries to relax by watching TV, when various characters representing facets of his personality emerge from the set and show him how to win his students over with imagination and music. Memorable songs such as “Just a Bill,” “Lolly, Lolly, Lolly” and “Conjunction Junction” bring his lesson plans vividly to life.
This revue-like production is perfect for students who love to sing and dance.
