SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK LIVE!

A pop culture phenomenon comes to the musical stage!
 
The Emmy Award-winning 1970s Saturday morning cartoon series that taught history, grammar, math, science and politics through clever, tuneful songs is not only making a small-screen comeback, instructing a whole new generation to “Unpack Your Adjectives” and “Do The Circulations,” it’s lighting up stages everywhere, from school multi-purpose rooms to university and regional theatres all around the country.
 
Tom, a nerve-wracked school teacher nervous about his first day of teaching, tries to relax by watching TV when various characters representing facets of his personality emerge from the set and show him how to win his students over with imagination and music, through such beloved Schoolhouse Rock songs as “Just A Bill,” “Lolly, Lolly, Lolly” and “Conjunction Junction.”
 
With its minimal band, set, costume and flexible cast requirements, the show may be performed in virtually any space, bringing its infectious zest to a cross-generational audience. Children just discovering the TV series to “Generation X-ers” seeking a taste of nostalgia will delight in this sure-fire entertainment that’s simply good, clean – and educational – fun.

SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK
LIVE TOO!


The creators of Schoolhouse Rock Live! have returned with more of your favorite instructional tunes!
 
If you are looking for an energetic, colorful, fast-paced musical with zany, loveable characters that just happens to be educational, then look no further! Like its predecessor, Schoolhouse Rock Live Too! draws its inspiration from the Emmy Award-winning Saturday morning cartoon series, popular in the 1970s.
 
Far from outmoded, however, Schoolhouse Rock Live Too! is full of modern lyrics, catchy melodies, upbeat dance sections, and witty banter.
 
Audiences of all ages will fall in love with Nina, the owner of a fading diner and her wacky friends. Together, this charismatic crew (made up of a friendly waitress, a “regular” at the diner, a chef, and a first-day schoolteacher) tries to brainstorm ways to save their run down diner.
 

As they reject one idea after the next, they remain encouraged by songs from their favorite show, Schoolhouse Rock. Songs like The Rockin’ Medley, Electricity, Dollars and Sense, and Good Eleven. In the end, they realize that the answer was right in front of them all along…the Conjunction Junction Diner is up and running and open for business!
