Rescue Rue
Concept, Book, and Lyrics by Stacey Weingarten
Music and Lyrics by Joshua Zecher-Ross & Kate Steinberg
Additional Music and Lyrics by Dana Levinson, and Angela Parrish
When a little dog named Rue wishes for a "Happily Ever After" from her Fairy Dogmother, she soon embarks on an emotional journey of self-discovery and belonging. Kicked out of her home, Rue meets new friends and enemies alike on the street and at the pound before finding her "Furever" home, realizing life is really about finding your happy beginnings, not endings!
"Yes, you (and, advance warning, probably your kids) will come out of the theater wanting to adopt a dog. More important, however, you'll come out reminded that love at first sight, however hokey and improbable it may be, actually can happen." ~ Talkin Broadway
