Turtle Shell Productions is pleased to announce the world premiere of the new musical " Pucelandia - a Pusical, Musical Holiday Show," by the award-winning team of Sheldon Gartner and Fran Handman, who have written and composed a lively, tuneful musical comedy score, directed by John W. Cooper, at The Shell Theater (300 W. 43 rd Street. 4th Floor).
Featuring an evil tango-dancing villain, a cymbal-clashing page, yardstick-dueling decorators, a crazy inventor, a silly king and a spunky little girl who saves the day!
Bring the whole family to celebrate all the colors of the holidays with this goofy family
musical, in which the bright colors of Christmas, the Hanukkah festivities of light and the vibrant hues of Kwanza win out against gloomy yucky PUCE - the only color allowed in Pucelandia.
The creative team for Pucelandia includes Tracy Stark (music director), April Christine (choreograp her), Kyle Dixon (set design), A. Christina Giannini (costume design), Dan Ozminkowski (lighting design), Kristin Orlando (sound design), Steve J Hill (graphic design) Paula Riley (production assistant)
