Synopsis

Join Custard the Dragon and his friends as they embark on a musical journey in which a most unlikely hero finds true courage.

Based on Ogden Nash’s whimsical stories The Tale of Custard the Dragon and Custard the Dragon and the Wicked Knight , this musical tale follows the exploits of young Belinda and her three boastfully brave pets, Mustard the Dog, Ink the Cat and Blink the Mouse, and one not-so-brave dragon, Custard.

Yet when Belinda is confronted first by a fearsome pirate and then by a wicked knight, it’s Cowardly Custard who comes to the rescue, discovering that you can be brave even when you are afraid, because real courage comes from love.

Audiences ages 5 and above will delight in this charming family musical.
