A Zany 1940's Country-Western Musical Romp with the Swingin' Singin' McPig Sisters and their Canine Admirers!
“This is what Family Theatre is all about and Santa Monica Playhouse offers the best! Kids will delight in it all, as will adults, who can chuckle along with clever parts of the script, which is based on the well-known classic the Three Little Pigs - but more colorful and fun."
THE TOLUCAN TIMES
"Sheer enjoyment! Outshines all the rest in originality, music, humor and social value...Santa Monica Playhouse consistently creates new musicals that grab children's attention. Barnyard Madness mixes elements of 1940s boogie-woogie, Grand Ole Opry-type vaudeville and a Romeo and Juliet story line." LA PARENT
Barnyard Madness follows the three singin' McPig sisters as they try to keep the doors open to their family musical cafe Porky's, all while keeping the wolf from the door (figuratively and literally!) But McPig sister Roxy seems to have been wooed by her canine admirer, Lou P., with dreams of success in the biz! Can the McPig sisters trust the Wolfmans? Can wolves and pigs find camaraderie among each other, and perhaps even true love? Come on down and help the swingin' McPig sisters save their beloved Porky's Cafe and discover that love and friendship don't depend on anything but what's in your heart.
Will Roxy and Clarence confess their true feelings for each other, proving that not all wolves masquerade in sheep's clothing? Will the McPig sisters howl Lou P. out of town? Have the Wolfmans cried wolf once too often?
Great audience interaction brings the tale to a happily-ever-after conclusion so come on down and help the swiingin’ McPig Sisters save their beloved Porky’s café and prove that it’s not size, age, color, ‘species’, background, nationality, or family quarrels, but what's in your heart that really counts.
“Delightful! An irreverent musical production that pays loving hamage (sic) to that most classically romantic of all plays, Cyrano de Bergerac…toe-tapping, finger-snapping country/western and 40s melodies and colorful costumes add special zest to a rib-tickling afternoon.” RANCHO PARK NEWS
