Foothill Elementary Presents
James & the Giant Peach, Jr
Directed by Misty Davies and Erin Gavin
Musical Direction by Margie Alejandro
Coming April 2025...calling all upcoming 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. It's James & the Giant Peach, JR!
Based on one of Roald Dahl’s most poignantly quirky stories, Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach JR. is a brand new take on this "masterpeach" of a tale. Featuring a wickedly tuneful score and a witty and charming book, this adventurous musical about courage and self-discovery is destined to be a classic. When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that grows a tremendous peach, rolls into the ocean and launches a journey of enormous proportions. James befriends a collection of singing insects that ride the giant piece of fruit across the ocean, facing hunger, sharks and plenty of disagreements along the way.
