"Who says we can't be friends?"
E. B. White's classic characters are brought to life in this musical version of Charlotte's Web. When Fern, a bold young girl growing up on her family's farm, has the chance to save the life of the smallest pig of the litter, she jumps at the chance and names her new friend Wilbur. As Wilbur outgrows Fern's farm, he is moved to the Zuckerman family farm, full of all sorts of curious, opinionated animals whom Wilbur is happy to meet. But when Wilbur is once again in danger of being slaughtered by a farmer, a kindhearted barn spider named Charlotte drops in to write messages praising Wilbur in her web in order to persuade the farmer to let him live. With music and lyrics by Charles Strouse (Annie, Bye Bye Birdie), this story of friendship, courage, and self-sacrifice will be a special theatrical experience for children of all ages.
