​
From the opening celebration in Mother Goose Land to the triumphant March of the Wooden Soldiers, the adventure of 'Babes in Toyland' is a treat for the entire family. The Widow Piper, who you might know as 'the woman who lived in a shoe' takes care of a village of Mother Goose Rhyme children, including Mary Quite Contrary and Alan, the nephew of the evil Uncle Barnaby.
Mary Contrary and Alan run off to the Master Toymaker's shop in Toyland to escape from evil Uncle Barnaby. Despite Barnaby's well laid plans to follow and defeat Toyland, Barnaby is met with a quirky reception of characters that have learned to defend themselves and rise triumphant with the help of some very special Wooden Soldiers.
The reworked music and contemporary touch makes 'Babes in Toyland' an updated classic for children and parents; just in time to celebrate the holidays together enjoying a delightful musical treat and story which inspired and operetta, 3 major motion pictures, and our current musical presentation.
