A courtroom has never been more lively and fun than in The Big Bad Musical! This smart and wickedly funny musical is great for actors and audiences of any age. The jury — your audience — must decide the outcome of the biggest trial ever in the fairy-tale world! The notorious Big Bad Wolf is being slapped with a class-action lawsuit by storybooks of quirky characters who want to get even: Little Red Riding Hood, her Grandmother, the Three Little Pigs, and the Shepherd in charge of the Boy Who Cried Wolf. With Sydney Grimm as the commentator on live Court TV, the two greatest legal minds in the Enchanted Forest — the Evil Stepmother and the Fairy Godmother — clash in a trial that will be remembered forever after. As our wronged fairy tale characters testify, the wolf seems deserving of all that’s coming. Yet, even though the infamous Evil Stepmother resents doing pro-bono work on such an obviously futile defense, Mr. Wolf makes a good case for himself. Was he born a criminal, or made one? This musical has it all — audience participation, minimal set and costume requirements, a good balance of stage time for each character, multiple endings to make every performance unique, and Bill Francoeur’s toe-tapping tunes!

Choosing Big Bad Musical was the best decision I could have made. It’s a great show that fit our nearly-non-existent budget and barely-existent experience. Thanks to Pioneer, we are starting this year with with a success behind us and a larger budget in front of us. Mare Kinley, Cheney Technical High School, Manchester, CT
I thought it was witty and had plenty of characters with varying numbers of lines. Some kids want a part but not a ‘big’ part, so it is nice to have smaller roles. The music was fun and the alternate ending thing was fun too.
Big Bad Musical rocks! The variety of music styles combined with a book which is smart and clever enough to entertain high school students made our first production a huge hit with the kids and the audience. Give us more like that — with the emphasis on being clever enough for high schoolers. Mary Kinley, Cheney Technical High School, Manchester, CT
...fun play to perform and the kids got a big kick out of it. Diane Tovar, Little Actors’ Theatre, Valdosta, FL
