Broadway World reports that children's book If You Give a Cat a Cupcake (click here for our inside look at it) by Laura Numeroff is going to be a play! With the success of cupcake-themed Pinkalicious, the children's book about a little girl who eats so many pink cupcakes she turns pink that was turned into a successful traveling play, and spawned Purplicious, Goldilicious, and December's Silverlicious, I think this is a really great idea and when it comes to New York will definitely take my 4-year-old cousin.
The world-premiere stage adaptation IF YOU GIVE A CAT A CUPCAKE will be on the main stage at The Rose Theater from April 30 to May 16. Based on the book by Laura Numeroff and adapted by Brian Guehring, this show promises to be interactive and comical.
Despite her older brother's warning, seven-year-old Laura gives her new Cat a cupcake. The Cat is so excited and happy that she asks for sprinkles. When Laura gives her the sprinkles, the Cat makes a huge mess. Cleaning up the mess will get her wet, so Laura gives her a bathing suit...which leads to crazy adventures at the beach, the gym, a mountain, a lake, and a museum. "At various times in the play, the audience members get to talk to the characters, sing along with them, dance with them and make lots of fun noises," said Guehring. "The cast is really looking forward to interacting with the audience!"
The show also teaches a lesson about consequences of actions and the need to rein in impulses, similar to IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE, which was presented by the Rose in 2006. IF YOU GIVE A CAT A CUPCAKE will go on a year-long national tour in the fall to major performing arts centers around the country, including New York City.
You can buy tickets and see dates at The Rose Theater.
