Clifford the Big Red Dog: The Musical
CLIFFORD The Big Red Dog : The Musical Sunday, November 8 | 3 PM
Everyone’s favorite Big Red Dog, CLIFFORD – bounds onto the stage in a brand-new musical comedy adventure that celebrates friendship, imagination and the magic of unconditional love!
Emily Elizabeth absolutely adores her new puppy – the tiny red runt of the litter. But when her GIANT love makes Clifford grow into a GIANT, the family must trade their cramped city apartment for a home on Birdwell Island – where folks aren’t so sure about a house-sized, playful pup.
Worried his colossal clumsiness is keeping Emily Elizabeth from making friends, Clifford wishes he never grew so big – and it works! He enjoys a fur- tastic small-dog-sized day… until his adventurous BFF and her new island friends get stuck in a place from which only a BIG red dog can save them.
Clifford The Big Red Dog: The Musical is full of extra-large laughs, joy and love – the paw -fect show for Clifford’s growing young fans – and nostalgic parents who remember him too.
Join JFamily after the show for lots of Clifford-themed fun including an imaginative play veterinary clinic, therapy dogs, crafts, pictures with the Big Red Dog himself, and a raffle from Toyology and more! Don’t forget to pre-order your custom Clifford sugar cookie for the show (cookies will not be available for purchase at the show).
