Hale Centre Theatre has been given the privilege to launch a WORLD PREMIERE! .... And this is not just any world premiere - this bright, happy new musical sings and dances with all Frank Loesser music! (Frank wrote Guys and Dolls and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, among many others) Frank’s daughter, Emily Loesser, wanted her beloved father’s music to live on so she hired playwright and Broadway Producer, Paul Blake, and engaged world-wide publisher, Music Theatre International to back a new show. THEN - they called HCT to produce the world premiere! We are over the moon! Watching the new script be created and the Broadway musical orchestrator work his magic has been a dream! The story … 1962… Hans - great nephew of the famous writer, Hans Christian Anderson - inherits a bookstore in NYC and he has no idea what to do with it. He finally decides to give dance lessons to children in his back store room to make a few bucks. Through magic from his famed Uncle Hans, support from his uber talented Broadway friends and a sprinkling of love, his world comes together in a joyful romp befitting the style of a classic Broadway tale. Great songs …. I Don’t Wanna Walk Without You, Baby …. Inchworm … What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve? Sparkling dance, brilliant set and costumes. A genius live band fills the stage with fabulous Loesser music! A delight for old and young alike. Be the first to see this great new musical now before it travels the rest of the world!
