Hudson to save him from execution. Seven great songs<br />
including: “Lucky, Lucky Hudson,” “A Wild<br />
Imagination,” “Welcome to the Paradise Club,” “The<br />

Rock music from the rollicking sixties makes this a fun<br />
show for both the performers <strong>and</strong> the audience. When the<br />
high school principal denies an in-school battle of the<br />
b<strong>and</strong>s, Starpetal <strong>and</strong> her all-girl b<strong>and</strong> Flower Power stage<br />
a protest. When they can’t get a park permit to perform,<br />
they make it all happen at Ole MacDonald’s farm. They<br />
call it the Cornstalk Music Festival. This one act version<br />
of Flower Power features six songs: “Flower Power,”<br />
“There’ll Come a Time,” “Makin’ It Happen,” “The<br />
Hippie Generation,” “Oh, My Honey Babe” <strong>and</strong><br />
“We’re the Bad Guys.” A great show for a large cast.<br />

“Ridiculously delightful!” This classic tale of the vain,<br />
clotheshorse Emperor rocks with music <strong>and</strong> comedy. Nine<br />
storytelling songs: “The Emperor’s Song,” “One Tree<br />
at a Time,” “It’s Not Easy Being Perfect,” “Cool<br />
Suit,” “Check It Out,” “Listen,” “You Got to See It<br />
to Believe It,” “Strut Your Stuff” <strong>and</strong> “Think for<br />
Yourself.” A group of rebel tailors trick the vainglorious<br />
Emperor into believing they can make him a Cool Suit<br />
that’s so “stylish <strong>and</strong> chic, from a fabric magic <strong>and</strong><br />
unique” that only the smart can see it. A lowly page tries<br />
to tell the Emperor it’s a hoax — there is no invisible Cool<br />
Suit. But no one will listen. The royal ministers, the<br />
Emperor’s doting mother, the servants — none will admit<br />
they can’t see the Cool Suit. The foolish Emperor dresses<br />
up in the Cool Suit he can’t see. The royal parade begins.<br />
The Emperor struts his stuff in his Teddy-bear underwear. It<br />
takes a tiny kid to tell him he’s wearing nothing! The lesson:<br />
Think for yourself! Easy to stage — hilarious to watch.
