Three Little Pigs
By : Stages Productions
The Three Little Pigs is an original musical that explores the flaws of human nature through the eyes of a family of stubborn pigs and one very famous wolf. The story begins when Papa Pig informs his children that they must leave the comforts of the pen and make their own way in the world. Before they go, Papa leaves each "child" with an important piece of advice: (1) "Be sure to build a strong, sturdy house," (2) "Beware of the Big Bad Wolf," (3) "United we stand, divided we fall." Alone in the woods their weaknesses become evident as the Big Bad "Rapping" Wolf blows down their homes of straw and wood. By combining their individual strengths the three pigs become a team and finally understand what Papa meant when he said "United we stand, divided we fall." Even the Big Bad Wolf turns out to be not so bad in a surprise ending that reunites the entire family and teaches everyone to live peacefully.
