CAPTAIN LOUIE is a family musical with music & lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Godspell, Pippin). Adapted for the stage by Anthony Stein, from the book The Trip by Caldecott Award-winner Ezra Jack Keats (who authored and illustrated 24 children's classics, including the Caldecott Award-winning The Snowy Day and the Caldecott Honor Book Goggle), it's the story of a young boy on Halloween night who escapes into his own imagination to cope with the loneliness he feels when he moves to a new neighborhood. The New York Times said it captures "the sound and rhythm of music that runs through childhood fantasies with a book that conveys the communicative magic of the original story."
