Audiences of all ages love Spookley. What’s not to love? He’s a square pumpkin in a round pumpkin world. He has hilarious spider friends, Edgar, Allan, and Poe. He’s the star of a popular book series and famous animated feature. Maybe that’s why SPOOKLEY THE SQUARE PUMPKIN: THE MUSICAL is on its way to becoming a family tradition itself. Does Spookley have what it takes to be the Pick of the Patch? Will he realize being different makes him special? Sing along as you find out, and enjoy one of the best Halloween musicals you will see for a long time!
Based on the book “The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin” written by Joe Troiano, the film “Spookley the Spookley the Square Pumpkin” written by Joe Troiano and Tom Hughes, and the stage production directed and conceived by Jeff Frank and First Stage.
