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!
