Meet Ruffles – a hen with a voice that can stop a freight train. Lost at a crossroads, she meets Mule, Bobcat, and Coyote. Together they undertake an epic journey across the desert to the big city, following a big dream. They have hopes of becoming a famous musical band – but can they make it?
Inspired by the much-loved Grimm’s Fairy Tale and set in the American Southwest, The Musicians of Bremen Live! is a brand-new musical play for the whole family featuring live music, story, song, and plenty of surprises.
