From Pioneer’s website: “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 (the audience!) must decide the outcome of the biggest trial ever in the fairly tale world. The notorious Big Bad Wolf is being slapped with a class-action lawsuit by quirky storybook characters who want to get even. With Sydney Grimm as the commentator on live Court TV, the two greatest legal minds in the Enchanted Forest – the Evil Stepmother and Fairy Godmother – clash in a trial that will be remembered forever after. Mr. Wolf makes a good case for himself – was he born a criminal, or made one?” The audience decides, potentially leading to different endings at every show!
