Goodnight, Moon, the musical
by Zach Theatre

Nov. 06 (2017)

 

 Step into the Great Green Room as one of the most iconic children’s books of all time is brought to life. In this lively musical, Bunny’s room magically comes alive with stunning puppetry, tap dancing bears, and even a trip through the night sky with a constellation light show.

Adapted from the book by Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd

Book, music, and lyrics by Chad Henry

Directed by Abe Reybold

Music Direction by Allen Robertson
