Everyone knows and loves the story of Little Red Riding Hood and this lively new family musical version from New Orleans, based on Mike Artell’s best-selling children’s book, will delight kids and adults alike.

Joan Cushing’s laugh-out-loud script and toe-tapping songs mix lively jazz with sultry Cajun music to tell the story of brave Petite Rouge and her cowardly cat TeJean as they dodge wily alligator Claude through the swamps of Louisiana and the fun of Mardi Gras, en route to Grandmère’s house.

Expect the Steam Industry’s trademark blend of award-winning comedy, puppetry, song and dance in an irresistible helping of horrendous French, happy endings and hot HOT sauce! Only a ‘fraidy cat would miss it!
