The new play is based on the classic tale, The Prince And The Pauper.
Lifeline Theatre will present the Midwest premiere of Kid Prince and Pablo, a hip-hop musical based on Mark Twain's story The Prince and the Pauper, January 3 - February 16 at Lifeline Theatre, 6912 N. Glenwood Ave.
Kid Prince and Pablo, adapted by Brian Quijada with music composed by Marvin Quijada, and directed by Raquel Torre, makes its Midwest premiere after its initial run at the Kennedy Center in 2019. The press opening for Kid Prince and Pablo is Sunday, Jan 12 at 2:30 p.m.
In the divided Capital City, the ruling class has banned rap and dance after an attempted revolution by the People. Kid Prince is set to inherit the throne...that is, until he meets Pablo, a drummer who performs for underground rap battles. When the two hatch a plan to switch identities, mayhem and music ensue. But by standing in each other's shoes, Kid Prince and Pablo discover connections that could start a whole new revolution.
