Sesame Street Star's 'No Dogs Allowed, The Musical'

Sesame Street Star Sonia Manzano Visits the Miracle Theatre Saturday October 14th for
 NO DOGS ALLOWED, the Musical!

Sesame Street star Sonia Manzano will return to Coral Gables Saturday October 14th to enjoy the reprise of her musical play based on her book No Dogs Allowed. The world premier of No Dogs Allowed, the Musical opened at the Miracle Theatre for a world premiere in July and is now playing through October 28, 2006. Actors' Playhouse commissioned the new work with book by Sonia Manzano and music by Sesame Street composer Stephen Lawrence and lyrics by Broadway composer Billy Aronson.
 
The musical adventure thrills children of all ages celebrating family life through the antics of a zany household and their dog. The musical, like the book, draws on Manzano's memories of weekend family outings to the lake and all the ritual preparation that went into them: the women waking predawn to cook food for the picnic; the men making last-minute car repairs to ready for the 100-mile roundtrip -- only to have the cars routinely break down; The Children feeling giddy in anticipation . . . then growing impatient on the long drive. But the musical has a slight plot twist that, Manzano says, lends the story enough tension to carry the audience through the hour-long production. The plot twist involves the family dog, but you'll have to see it to learn the rest.
