What happens when you combine original songs by Christian Albright and Christian Magby, Brandon Bush, Annmarie Milazzo, Divinity Roxx, Jacob Ryan Smith, and Eugene Russell IV with the stories of Beatrix Potter? An award winning new musical that the whole family will love.
 
As the neighborly forest animals gather in the rabbit’s den – under Mr. McGregor’s Garden – for a surprise party for Peter Rabbit, the animals soon realize Mr. McGregor has terrible plans for the land around Peter’s burrow.
 
Featuring beloved characters from the classic Beatrix Potter tales and a variety of original songs, this new musical encourages us to find strength in community and to stand up for what is right.
