Arthur LIVE! stresses the values of teamwork, learning and the joys of being a kid. In this musical adventure – based on the award-winning book series by Marc Brown, and the top-rated PBS TV series – D.W. is jealous when her big brother Arthur loses a tooth and gets a visit from the Tooth Fairy. Arthur explains that the Tooth Fairy comes only when you lose a tooth and put it under your pillow at night, so D.W. dreams up some hilarious (but unsuccessful) plans to trick the Tooth Fairy into coming. Finally, Arthur decides to reward D.W.'s efforts by playing Tooth Fairy himself!
Featuring a dozen original songs -- including ”Good and Ready,” “The Loose Tooth Wiggle” and "T-Rex Rocks," Arthur LIVE! keeps the audience engaged and tapping their toes. The show includes our favorite cast of characters: the lovable, intrepid Arthur, his feisty sister DW, his good buddies Buster and Brain, his nemesis Francine – and new stars including the warm, wise and wacky Tooth Fairy. An innovative, page-turning pop-up storybook set and special-effects move the story through Elwood, Arthur’s House, Mr. Ratburn’s Classroom, the Dentist Office and the Dinosaur Museum.
