About Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Musical

Adapted from a beloved children’s book by its author, Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Musical is a familiar tale made epic on the stage. With a chorus that transforms from neighbors to firetrucks to evil giant clothing—we see the world through a toddler’s eyes and understand it through her language.
