- Runtime
- 50 minutes
A new adaptation of Margery Williams’ classic children’s story with live original music, choreography, and shadow puppetry! We follow the journey of The Velveteen Rabbit - a curious toy who wants nothing more than to become ‘real.’ In other words, to be truly loved by the child that takes care of you. On the way, we meet outlandish characters, deal with major toy-world crises, sing, dance, and most importantly, have fun. Bring your own stuffed animal for a chance to be featured in the show! Suitable for five year olds, nostalgic adults, and everyone in between.
