(NETCONG, NJ) -- The Growing Stage: The Children's Theatre of New Jersey presents The Big Bad Musical - a howling courtroom comedy studio series all youth production from January 18-21, 2024. A courtroom has never been more lively and fun than in The Big Bad Musical!  This smart and wickedly funny musical is great for audiences of any age. Audience members are the jury and must decide the outcome of the biggest trial ever in the fairy-tale world!

The notorious Big Bad Wolf is being slapped with a class-action lawsuit by storybooks of quirky characters who want to get even: Little Red Riding Hood, her Grandmother, the Three Little Pigs, and the Shepherd in charge of the Boy Who Cried Wolf. With Sydney Grimm as the commentator on live Court TV, the two greatest legal minds in the Enchanted Forest — the Evil Stepmother and the Fairy Godmother — clash in a trial that will be remembered forever after.

As our wronged fairy tale characters testify, the wolf seems deserving of all that’s coming. Yet, even though the infamous Evil Stepmother resents doing pro-bono work on such an obviously futile defense, Mr. Wolf makes a good case for himself. Was he born a criminal, or made one?

This play is recommended for the entire family. Performances take place in the Historic Palace Theatre (Route 183) in Netcong, New Jersey on Thursday, January 18 at 7:30pm; Friday, January 19 at 7:30pm; Saturday, January 20 at 4:00pm; and Sunday, January 21 at 2:00pm.
