Description:

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is the irresistible story of a fourteen-year-old boy growing up in the heartland of America, based on the classic novel. Set in 1840 Missouri, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is the musical tale of young Tom Sawyer and the never ending mischief of which he so often finds himself a part; whether it's matching wits with Aunt Polly, tricking his friends into whitewashing a fence for him or narrowly escaping the clutches of a murderous villain. Along with his best friend, Huckleberry Finn, and the cute girl in town, Becky Thatcher, the greatest Tom Sawyer exploits are plucked from the book and plopped onto the stage. Aside from having one of the most recognizable titles from literary history, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a superb family-friendly show. Filled with foot-stomping, toe-tapping songs, this musical adventure is a tale of thrilling escapes, comedy and inspiration for the whole family. 

Approximate run time: 2 hours 30 minutes, including a 20-minute intermission.
