Trolls JR. is Now Available for Licensing
Embrace your inner Troll! Trolls The Musical JR. is now available for licensing.
Trolls JR. is based on the irreverent DreamWorks Animation comedy and features a wondrous world populated by hilariously unforgettable characters. The show follows the overly optimistic Trolls, with a constant song on their lips, and the comically pessimistic Bergens, who are only happy when they have Trolls in their stomach.
Trolls JR. was created through the DreamWorks Theatricals/MTI Emerging Writers Program and features music and lyrics by Joriah Kwamé and a book and additional lyrics by Krista Knight. The DreamWorks Theatricals/MTI Emerging Writers Program was created to identify teams of book writers, composers and lyricists with unique voices and points of view to develop musical adaptations of popular DreamWorks Animation titles intended for the Music Theatre International catalogue.
“We’re so excited to partner with MTI to bring Trolls JR. to life for young performers. Few properties lend themselves to the stage as naturally as Trolls—it’s a world built on music, joy, and self-expression—and this adaptation really leans into that spirit. Joriah Kwamé and Krista Knight have created something that feels vibrant, funny, and emotionally grounded, while also giving young performers a chance to truly shine. It’s exactly the kind of theatrical experience that invites students in, celebrates individuality, and makes storytelling irresistibly fun,” said Lowe Cunningham, SVP, Head of Creative and Strategy, Universal Theatrical Group.
Trolls JR. was featured in the New Works Showcase at the 2026 Junior Theater Festivals in Atlanta and Sacramento.
“The Trolls films are a colorful and sparkly staple of family movie nights and childhoods across the world,” said MTI’s Chief Operations Officer John Prignano. “Trolls JR. brings that same sparkle to the stage, and I cannot wait to see the way that theaters adapt these works and showcase their young performers.”
