(2f, 2m, 1 either))
WINNER OF THE ANNA ZORNIO PRIZE FOR CHILDREN'S PLAYWRITING
"This hourlong interactive musical gives children special satisfaction. It's also funny for adults. Children are thrilled to suggest the ingredients." - The New York Times
“There was more fun per square minute in The Nastiest Drink in the World than the small stage at Vital Theatre can hold, and Carrie Libling's production of Mark Lowenstern and John Gregor's ebulliently snazzy musical burst out of the intimate space with raucous, contagious good cheer.” - The Off-Off Broadway Review
In the kingdom of Baloneya, the law says that King Fredipus is always right -- even when he's wrong! When his mistakes start to cause real harm, only a shy peasant girl named Samantha finds the courage to speak up and the ingenuity to set things right. How she does so gives the show its title, as she calls upon the audience to assist her in the hilarious creation of The Nastiest Drink in the World.
