Original Music by Miles Burns and Joshua Goldberg
50 minutes, optional intermission | flexible cast
Based on the beloved A.A. Milne stories, the Hundred Acre Woods come to life in this brand new musical adventure. Winnie-the-Pooh, Christopher Robin, and all their friends and relations set off an "Expotition" to the North Pole for an Important Announcement... getting in all sorts of sticky situations along the way. But whether up a tree, hiding from heffalumps, or stuck in a tight spot, the bear-of-very-little-brain and his pals can always rely on each other to get sorted out again.
