Director Francesca Zambello (Disney’s The Little Mermaid) leads an accomplished creative team in the development of this new work, including lyrics by Donna di Novelli, music by Academy Award-winner Rachel Portman (Emma) and book by Tony Award-winner Rachel Sheinkin (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee).
