"Step into those shoes. What have you got to lose?"
The Emperor’s Clothes is a new family musical based on the classic fairy tale, offering catchy songs, heart-warming characters and a few unexpected twists on the well-known story!
"Everyone knows the Emperor's clothes, fashion in its prime!
Everyone knows the Emperor's clothes, suitably sublime!"
Emperor Frederick the Fashionable is always dressed beautifully. In fact, it’s the law that he should have an amazing new set of clothes (or Very Important Garments as he calls them) every day. But the unthinkable has happened – there are no new outfits! Many people think they have what it takes to be the empire’s new Chief Designer, but two outsiders promise an outfit "like you've never seen before". The court is thrown into confusion as these charismatic strangers weave their spell, but if you think you know exactly how this story ends you're in for a surprise...
This musical is suitable for the whole family. Expect lots of laughter and heart-felt sentiments as the people of the empire learn about individuality, appearance and truth.
