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.

Hear what directors and critics are saying:
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
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.
Making the audience the jury brought many more audience members than we’d ever had before. Robert Moriarty, Mount Sinai Middle School, Mount Sinai, NY
Big Bad Musical was PERFECT for my smaller cast this past fall. Once all of the characters enter onto the stage, they stay there, creating less traffic backstage (less of a headache for me as the director). Plus the audience gets to decide the fate of the wolf! Mary Carpenter, Pinnacle Charter School, Federal Heights, CO
