A CONCORD THEATRICALS TITLE
Short Musical, Comedy / 4w, 1m, 6 any gender (adult)
Book & Lyrics by Robert KauzlaricMusic by Paul Gilvary and William RushAdapted from the book by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith
Based on the book by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith, this musical adaptation centers on Piggsylvania’s Trial of the Century. Will the Big Bad Wolf get a fair trial, or will the pigs’ splashy puppet show make a puppet out of justice?
There are two sides to every story, and when the Big Bad Wolf takes the stand in Piggsylvania’s Trial of the Century, he finally gets his say. But whether he’ll get a fair trial in a corrupt piggy court is anyone’s guess. Will the pigs’ splashy puppet show make a puppet out of justice, or is the wolf’s catchy song and dance about a sneeze gone wrong all razzle-dazzle? Enter the jury box and decide the fate of Big ‘n’ Bad in this musical adaptation of the hit children’s book.

The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs! received its world premiere at Lifeline Theatre in Chicago, Illinois, on 25 February 2007. It was directed by Victoria DeIorio.
The Intrepid Journalist: LILLIAN MAGILL (AKA “NANCY”) – A fast-talking, inquisitive reporter pig. A tough sow in a hog’s world, seeker of truth and justice, and the audience’s best friend in their hunt for the full story. The Presiding Judge: THE HONORABLE PRUDENCE – A thoroughly biased, hard-as-nails, utterly corrupt cog in the wheel of what passes for justice in Piggsylvania. Her chief weakness is a love of musical theatre. The Defendant: ALEXANDER T. WOLF – A soulful wolf with a rumpled suit and a toothy grin. Beneath the gruff image is a love for gourmet cooking and the fine arts. He’s a charmer (perhaps a con artist?), but still a carnivore to the core: tough, strong, and territorial. The Prosecuting Attorney: JULIA – A dramatic, over-the-top firebrand of a lawyer pig; prone to speechifying. She will do or say anything to win a case, no matter how low or manipulative. The Witnesses for the Prosecution: MAXWELL – A clever pig, geeky and unassuming; a fancier of masonry and construction. DR. ROBERT – A handsome, dashing doctor pig; a paid “expert” for the prosecution. MARTHA – A matronly pig, unwilling witness to horrific acts of carnivorism.With: ROCKY – A big ’n’ brutish civil-servant pig. PIGS #1, 2 & 3 – Ensemble-type piggies.
