"Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Musical" at the Kennedy Center
Dancing laundry, a crazy daddy, favorite stuffies, and an aria entirely in gibberish: put it together with a healthy dose of family humor, and you have a treat for young audiences and parents alike. This one-hour musical is based on Mo Willems' children's book Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale; to our delight, Mo Willems wrote the musical himself, after being approached by the Kennedy Center.
My partner and I took Oldest to see the show this evening, and we were all equally delighted - the show was fast-paced, jam-packed with great songs, visually delightful, and wonderfully silly. B was fixated on the stage, and only "whispered" when pointing out something he was sure I would miss (such as a cameo by a certain pigeon - "Mommy, he wants to drive the bus!"
Here is a clip from the tour last year. The cast was different this time around, but they really did a wonderful job.
There is also a "making of" here.
