About the Project

THERE’S A NEW MOUSICAL IN TOWN

27 Years in the Making: “Nutcracker – the Mousical”

“What WICKED does for OZ, the MOUSICAL does for NUTCRACKER”

The Temecula Theater Foundation is proud to announce the production of their new musical, Nutcracker – The Mousical”  by Bobbi Boes and Beverly Stephenson. That’s not a misspelling. M-O-U-S-I-C-A-L. Based on “Nuts to You – the Nutcracker Retold” by Bobbi Boes is the book is now a Mousical.

“Nutcracker – The Mousical” is a re-imagining of the Nutcracker tales and Tchaikovsky’s music with a slight steam punk flavor. The musical is set in the town of Hamelin in the 1800s, where Clara, the goddaughter of inventor and Pied Piper Drosselmeir, must find a way to bring back the village children who have been transported to a magical land where the children are slowly turning into candy and giant mice are about to invade the land.  The production promises to be a “treat” for both children and adults alike as they follow Clara’s journey to save the children.

“Nutcracker – The Mousical” is based on Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker music and  features lyrics and book by successful screenwriter Bobbi Boes and children’s book  author Beverly Stephenson. Broadway veteran Don York and rising musical star Grande Coles have adapted the music.

This is not your mother’s Nutcracker – it is so much more FUN. With an exciting new approach to story and song, this musical promises to be a classic in  the making.
