| Summary |
One of the hottest musical teams in American theatre adds song and dance and a castle full of characters to Hans Christian Andersen's delightful tale. Emperor Marcus the Third wonders how he can possibly run an empire when he's only 14 years old. In an attempt to appear more mature to his people, he accepts the credo that "clothes make the man," but soon finds himself the center of a hoax. Who can blame him for getting into a royal mess--only to find that "no matter how grand or small you appear the person who counts is the person in here!" And "here," as everyone knows... is your heart. |
