Musical

Various Sets.

It is Christmas Eve and a lonely dog arrives at Old Mother Hubbard's Home for Lost Children. But alas, her cupboard is bare! Worse still-- together with her brood of nursery rhyme children-- she is turned out by the bailiff and the rent collector. They make their way to a forest where they encounter a magician on his way to a circus. By a fortunate mistake, the magician casts a spell which enlarges the bailiff's boot to a size which is big enough for Mother Hubbard to take temporary residence in it. But her troubles are far from over, and they all undergo many adventures-- not least with a sinister cat, before all turns out well-- and they are able to take part in a Grand Circus.

Vocal Score, $15. FEE: $35 per performance.
