Wanda's World: a new musical playing at 45th Street Theatre

Amas Musical Theatre, in association with Terry Schnuck, will present the world premiere of the new musical Wanda's World - A Musical for the Tweens in All of Us, book by Eric H. Weinberger, music and lyrics by Beth Falcone, and story by Eric H. Weinberger and Beth Falcone, opening at the 45th Street Theatre on 23 Jan 2008, following previews from 6 Jan and running through to 3 Feb 2008.

Wanda's World is a new family musical, especially designed for 'tweens', that generation of emerging, almost adolescents. Wanda Butternut is the popular host of the hit TV talk show, Wanda�s World, where kids call in to get help solving their problems. She is beautiful, confident and always knows what to say�in her fantasy. In real life, Wanda has a unique problem of her own and is dreading her first day of school in a new town.

�We�re thrilled to be presenting Wanda's World to family audiences,� says Donna Trinkoff, Amas Producing Artistic Director. �It�s a warm story of inclusiveness and acceptance younger people can really relate to, and it has a terrific pop score all ages will love.�

The musical will be directed and choreographed by Lynne Taylor-Corbett, with set design by Beowulf Boritt, lighting by Aaron Spivey and sound by Bret Jarvis.
