Can you produce a musical with actors who don’t sing?  With this creative show, the answer is a resounding yes!  All the upbeat songs can be sung exclusively by the chorus of Muses, who watch and comment on the play in classic Greek chorus style.  This gives you the freedom to schedule acting and musical rehearsals separately or simultaneously.  Of course, if you prefer, your musical can be more traditional with actors and ensemble singing along with the Muses.  Either way, your audience will be highly entertained by the menagerie of voices in poor Aesop’s head.  The resentful Fox, the egomaniac Hare, the sluggish Tortoise, the zen-like Grasshopper and the Aunt (yes, his mother’s sister!)  and more come to life as hysterical characters onstage that only Aesop and your audience!  can see and hear.  With his mind crowded with all these big personalities, Aesop can hardly think straight.  The only way to peace of mind and freedom is to let out the characters and share them with the world.  This lively show is jam-packed with clever dialogue, mad-cap action and modern, uproarious twists, retelling the fables like you’ve never quite heard them before!  Both you and Aesop will find peace of mind with this highly flexible show that can cut rehearsal time in half!
