Li'l Buds Theatre Company Will Present TINSEL! THE MUSICAL in December
By: Nicole Rosky Nov. 02, 2015
Li'l Buds Theatre Company presents Tinsel! the Musical. This original musical for families was co-written by Li'l Buds Co-founder and Artistic Director J. Preddie Predmore, Co-Founder Jenny Lamb, and the Jeff award winning and recently nominated for best supporting actress in a musical for the Goodman Theatre's revival of Brigadoon!, Maggie Portman. Music was written by Chuck Patella and Jenny Lamb with special arrangements by Christopher Damiano. This is a sequel to last years highly successful original musical Those Silly Reindeer! Li'l Buds continues it's tradition of casting professional actors and children together to create a high quality theatrical experience that speaks to kid and adult audiences alike.
About the Show- Telling the story of a nearsighted reindeer's rise from life as a clumsy waitress in Frosty's diner to her overnight fame as popular recording artist, TINSEL! THE MUSICAL will put the star on top of your holiday season with its unique blend of country, jazz, blues, broadway and pop music. TINSEL! THE MUSICAL (a sequel to last year's FROSTY'S SHAKES 'N' DOGS which was a prequel to the previous year's THOSE SILLY REINDEER!) teaches young audience members about the pitfalls of fame and the rewards of being true to yourself.
