Babes in Toyland Brings Families Together

Babes in Toyland opens December 4th starring local Father/Daughter Duo.

Quakertown, PA, November 19, 2015– Star of the Day Productions, LLC. announces its upcoming holiday musical Babes in Toyland. We’d like to wrap this musical in gold paper with spangles all over it and attach a card saying Merry Christmas! Remember the wonderful Victor Herbert music? Remember the lyrics? “Toyland, toyland, little girl and boy land.” There are wonderful vibrant characters: Mistress Mary Quite Contrary; Tom-Tom the Piper’s Son; Jack and Jill; Little Miss Muffet; Wicked Uncle Barnaby (and his comic-ruffian assistants, Roderigo and Gonzorgo) and the Master Toymaker. The adaptation uses the original music of Victor Herbert and much of Glen MacDonough’s libretto and lyrics.

“Babes in Toyland is the perfect family outing during the holidays.” ~Kirsten Almeida, President, Star of the Day, LLC.
