TOURING
 The Velveteen Rabbit
About the Show
Adapted by Leslie Reidel, Jennifer Blatchley Smith & Landis Smith Music by Don Sebesky Lyrics by Gloria Nissenson Directed by Leslie Reidel 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 National Tour "When a child loves you for a long, long time...then you become Real." So says the Horse to the Velveteen Rabbit in Margery Williams' famous and much-loved literary classic. A stuffed toy rabbit, given as a gift to a young boy, yearns for the day the boy will choose him as his special playmate, so that he can become real. Through love, devotion and a little bit of magic, he not only becomes a truly beloved toy, but is miraculously transformed into a real woodland rabbit. This innovative production combines the theatrical magic and signature style of Enchantment Theatre Company with the musical magic of Tony, Emmy and Grammy Award-winning composer/arranger Don Sebesky. With an original musical score, extraordinary puppets, masks and magic, Enchantment Theatre Company brings to life this charming tale of love and devotion, creating an unforgettable theatrical experience for the whole family. The Velveteen Rabbit nominated for the 2008 Grammy Award for "Best Musical Album for Children"! Learn more»
