Synopsis

This award-winning musical revue for teens explores the pains, pleasures and insanities of early adolescence.

In the heartbreaking “Tug of War,” two kids sing about their divorcing parents arguing over who will take the TV, the liquor or the furniture, but ask in a plaintive chorus, “Who's gonna take me?” In “It Isn't Fair,” three girls, jealous of one another's varied talents, vent their hostilities, only to learn that each has her own strong points.

Other highlights include "Sisters," a sibling rivalry song, along with numerous other numbers exploding with heart and vitality.

When it opened in Kansas City, Wanna Play?!

garnered a staggering response and critical acclaim.

Press Reviews

"Spectacular... I only wish that half the New York musicals I have seen in recent years were a fraction as tuneful."
