The Emperor's New Clothes (Ahrens/Flaherty)

Tony Award winners Lynn  Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty have created a contemporary "fractured fairytale,"  adding song and dance and a castle full of characters to Hans Christian  Andersen's delightful tale. The Washington Post called it "a sweet and funny  musical with a quirky, helium-light score...a memorable tribute to the power of  friendship."

Emperor Marcus the Third  wonders how he can possibly run an empire when he's only 14 years old. In an  attempt to appear more mature to his people, he accepts the credo that  "clothes make the man," but soon finds himself the center of a hoax.  Who can blame him for getting into a royal mess--only to find that "no  matter how grand or small you appear/the person who counts is the person in here!" And "here," as  everyone knows, is your heart.
