TheatreworksUSA presents a new musical based on Don Freeman's ever-popular book, Corduroy, about a lonely teddy bear and the girl who adopts him. (approximately one-hour in length)
It's the middle of the summer, and eight-and-a-half year old Lisa Carolina Evelina Brown moves to the big city from a small town. Everything is different in the metropolis... Apartment buildings stretch into the sky, kids play double dutch in the street under the El train, and the whole city dances to a completely different beat. It seems like out of all the millions and millions of people who live in the big city, no-one wants to be Lisa's friend.
Meanwhile, in Hampton's Department Store, a teddy bear in green overalls named Corduroy is just waiting for a friend. When he meets Lisa, they both know they're perfect for each other. But Lisa's mama won't spend her hard-earned money on a bear that's not perfect -- Corduroy is missing a button! While Corduroy searches the store for his lost button, Lisa searches for a way to bring her new friend home.
Corduroy is a delightful jazz-inspired musical treat, perfect for anyone who's ever wanted a friend.
