“Return to Candyland” is a trip back into childhood, with some serious grown-up style. This full-length theatre production comes complete with hula hoops, ballerinas, classic fan dancing, tap dancing, hip-hop, siamese twins, latex and a heavy emphasis on glitter and skill. You will travel throughout a lavishly upgraded “Candy Kingdom” along side the oh-so-familiar striped shirt wearing players, visiting all the characters you know, and meeting a few new ones along the way.
This Jumanji-influenced style of play will follow the kids as they witness the kidnapping of the kingdoms’ beloved princess Lolli. The deviant Lady Licorice, social outcast and boss-lady of the cavity-riddled strip joint on the outskirts of town, plans to offer her a “career as a dancer” to keep her around, and satisfy her “sweet toothed” clientele.
However, with the help of the faithful citizens of the land, and perhaps some unexpected help, the kids have a chance to save Lolli and foil Lady Licorices’ evil plan.
Join this cast of theatre, circus, dance and art visionaries as they whip, sprinkle and put the cherry on top of your very own honey glazed, memories from a decidedly sweeter time.
