NURSERY SCHOOL MUSICAL
Book and Lyrics by Brett & Racheal McCaig
Music by Anthony Bastianon
The Fringe hit returns home to Toronto for a limited time
following a SOLD-OUT run in the U.S.
September 16 – October 3, 2008
Berkeley Street Theatre Upstairs
Toronto, ON… If you saw it before, you’ll want to see
it again. If you didn’t see it, here’s your chance! Second
City meets "South Park" meets "Sex and the City" in the
critically-acclaimed Nursery School Musical, one
of the most successful productions in Toronto Fringe Festival
history. After a two-month, sold-out run in Texas (Theater LaB
Houston), this side-splitting musical about the trauma for both
parents and children on the first day of nursery school now
returns home for a limited engagement at the Berkeley Street
Theatre Upstairs.
Co-creators (and real-life Daddy and Mommy team) Brett
and Racheal McCaig have managed to find a babysitter in
order to bring back this newly-expanded and revamped Nursery
School Musical to delight Toronto audiences again. It was
the top-selling show at last year’s 20th
Anniversary Toronto Fringe Festival, chosen as a "Critic’s
Pick" in the Globe & Mail, Toronto Star and NOW Magazine, and
named both "Pick of the Fringe" and "Best of the Fringe"
overall.
Featuring poignant songs such as "Why Are Disney Princesses
All Such Whores" and a Sondheim-esque patter song about
potty training trouble called "My Pants", this hilarious
smash hit is NOT a show for kids. It’s for anyone who has kids,
is thinking of having kids, or has a crush on Stewie from "The
Family Guy". Book the babysitter now!
The McCaigs also wrote the 2004 Fringe hit Waiting for
Trudeau: The Return of the King, which was one of the
best-selling shows of the Festival that year (topped only by
another show starring Ms. McCaig!), making critic’s pick
in the Globe & Mail, Toronto Star and NOW Magazine.
School starts September 17 and runs until October 3,
2009 with one preview performance on September 16, 2009.
Tickets are general admission and ON SALE NOW!
