From the creators of the smash musical Wanda's Monster Barbara Zinn Krieger (Making Books Sing Artistic Director and Co-Founder ) and Laurie Berkner (Sprout TV, Nickelodeon), comes a brand new show. Harvey is an amazing kid who doesn't need much to be happy - just his family and his imagination. When he accidentally gets shipped to Pink Mountain Island (in an imaginary box!), he meets a Princess whose royal family needs a lesson in fun and togetherness. This upbeat musical, directed by Marty Johnson (James and the Giant Peach, The Adventures of Flat Stanley) celebrates what happiness is really all about. Best for ages 3-8.
