| Adapted from Norton Juster’s beloved children’s book, this inventive
musical portrays a modern tale of a boy who is bored and suddenly thrust into an adventure when he
must save the princesses Rhyme and Reason and reunite the brother kings who rule over the cities of
Dictionopolis and Digitopolis. Aided by a trusty time-keeping dog, Tock, Milo successfully brings
harmony to the Land of Wisdom and learns many things about words and numbers along his journey.
Perhaps the most important lesson he takes with him, however, is that everything we learn has a purpose
and whatever we do affects everything and everyone. When he returns home, he realizes
there is never a reason to be bored in a world full of so many things to discover. |
