Alexander and the
Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Books and Lyrics by Judith Viorst
Music by Shelly Markham
February 18 – June 17, 2012
Some days are just epically horrid. Alexander is having that day—no dessert at lunch, kissing on tv, railroad pajamas and no one EVEN CARES! In this larger-than-life musical written by the classic picture book’s author even the inanimate objects come alive to conspire against Alexander. And how do you deal with all this frustration? It’s time to pack for Australia.
