Description

"Aesop was never so charming! Clever lyrics, singable modern music -- ancient wisdom and today's wit is an irresistible attraction as confected by Carol Lynn Pearson and JAC Redford. Highlights: the famous race of tortoise and hare ("You got to keep on keeping on"); a soft shoe number by the fox ("Flatter them, and you'll walk away with the cheese"); a rousing peasant dance in the bundle of sticks ("The trick is to stick together"); a chorus line of sheep ("If he's got fleece but the wrong kind of nose, maybe he's simply a wolf in sheep's clothes"). A tour de force of Aesop's world. This musical, with optional participation elements, involves every age in tuneful pleasure, making audiences into actors."--Publisher.
