The beloved literary classic, Anne of Green Gables, comes to life in this hilarious and inspiring new musical for the whole family. Anne Shirley is mistakenly adopted by siblings Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert. Although they had hoped for a boy to help on their Avonlea farm, Anne's joyous, intelligent and vivacious spirit changes the lives of all those around her, including Matthew, Marilla and nosy town gossip Mrs. Rachel Lynde. Anne finds fast friendships at school, while her rivalry with handsome classmate Gilbert Blythe changes unexpectedly as they enter adulthood.
