Babes in Toyland, which hasn't seen a major revival in New York City in more than 85 years, “tells a story that is both amusing and scary: villainous Uncle Barnaby plots the deaths of his young niece and nephew, Alan and Jane, in order to gain their inheritance. After many twists and turns, the siblings, with the help of several Mother Goose characters, thwart his efforts and bring happiness back to Toyland.” MasterVoices will present the original score in its full orchestration. Babes in Toyland has a libretto by Glen MacDonough.
A second performance of this concert, featuring the same cast, will be presented April 29 at 7 PM at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts in Long Island. Click here for more information.
