Junie B.
Jones the musical
Book and lyrics by Marcy Heisler
Music by Zina Goldrich
Directed and Choreographed by
Carissa Meisner Smit
Musical Direction by Rebecca Fredrickson
Adapted from the Junie B. Jones Series
of books by Barbara Park
It's Junie B.'s first day of first grade, and a lot of
things have changed for her: Junie's friend, Lucille,
doesn't want to be her best pal anymore and, on the bus,
Junie B. makes friends with Herb, the new kid at school.
Also, Junie has trouble reading the blackboard and her
teacher, Mr. Scary, thinks she may need glasses. Throw in a
friendly cafeteria lady, a kickball tournament and a
"Top-Secret Personal Beeswax Journal," and first grade has
never been more exciting.
