CDP Kids presents
The Very Hungry Cranky Bear
A musical by Tim McGarry and Gabbi Bolt
Adapted from the series by Nick Bland
In the Jingle Jangle Jungle, four friends are caught in a sudden storm.
Zebra, Moose and Lion have a plan. Sheep has concerns. And somewhere in a dark cave, one Very Cranky Bear just wants to sleep.
What follows is a funny, heartwarming musical adventure — featuring painted stripes, borrowed antlers, a gloriously oversized golden mane, and one small sheep with a very big idea…
Nick Bland's beloved picture book comes to life in a brand-new musical packed with catchy songs, big laughs and plenty of heart.
Adapted by Tim McGarry, with original music by Gabbi Bolt, The Very Cranky Bear is a roaringly funny musical adventure about empathy, friendship and the magic of truly listening to others.
