Little Red Riding Hood – the musical!

Into Nashville singer/songwriter Claudia Nygaard’s musical adaptation of the timeless fairytale “Little Red Riding Hood”, she has woven songs that give the story a fresh new slant while teaching some important life lessons. The wolf’s lament, “I’m So Blue,” points out his failure to be accountable for his choices. Little Red’s discovery of the wolf posing as her grandmother in “You Just Don’t Look Yourself Tonight,” shows her ability to pay attention to her gut feelings and flee when feeling threatened. “Cranky” alerts children to be conscious of how their emotions influence their decisions, and also stresses the importance of a sincere apology when a wrong has been committed. Both the songs and the story are joyous and entertaining, while also providing an educational twist and an opportunity for parents to discuss these lessons with their children afterwards.

The Academy will present two performances of “Little Red Riding Hood” on both October 7th and 8th at 2 pm. Tickets are $10 for children under 10, $15 for those 10 to18 years old, and $25 for adults. The theater address is 120 Main Street, Orleans MA, 02653. Phone is 508-255-1963.
