A LITTLE PRINCESS

Music by Eric Rockwell
Lyrics by Margaret Rose
Book by William J. Brooke
Picture
Miss Minchin instructs the girls.

Song:
"Remember Who You Are"

Picture
Sara and her father, Captain Crewe, share a tearful farewell with the help of Sara's new doll, Emily.
A LITTLE PRINCESS is the story of a girl on a ledge between happiness and loss, and a grown man teetering between youth and maturity. Together they help each other to bear what must be endured, and open their hearts to what can be dreamed.

Based on the beloved classic by Frances Hodgson Burnett,  A Little Princess is a full-length, large-cast family musical full of adventure, humor and heart. 
Picture
Sara Crewe went to bed hungry in her cold, barren attic room. She awakens to find a warm fire in the fireplace, and the room filled with gifts and food. What kind of magic could have caused it?

Song:
"Someone Made the Magic"

Song:
"I Know You By Heart"

“The music is gorgeous, the lyrics are smart, and the book is funny.”
                                 ~Lynn Ahrens
