Captain Louie
Sunday, May 08, 2005 through Sunday, June 12, 2005
A family musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz
Length: 0 hrs 60 mins

Seat assignments are assigned by the SmartTix, based on the best seat at the time the order is completed.
Based on the beautiful picture book, The Trip--by Caldecott Award-winning author of The Snowy Day and A Whistle for Willie, Ezra Jack Keats--Captain Louie is about a young boy who is alone and sad because he hasn't yet found any friends in his new neighborhood. Looking for something to cheer him up, he returns to his old neighborhood friends in an imaginative journey on the wings of his favorite toy, his little red plane. During the play, we see the plane go from toy size to Louie size to large enough to take Louie and all his friends on a flight over the sparkling lights of the City.
The story is set on Halloween, and the tricks and treats, masks and costumes, ghosts and ghouls of Louie's dream journey play a defining role in the story and musical style of the piece. Most of all, though, Captain Louie is about friendship and the ability to make new friends and the importance of old ones.
Captain Louie is alive with excitement of the chase, the triumph of success, the warmth of friendship, the pure joy and fun of Halloween and, of course, the incomparable music and lyrics of Stephen Schwartz. |
