"A colorful, high-energy, thoroughly charming stage adaptation" –Chicago Reader
"Chock-full of family fun... Niemi’s exuberance as clothes-loving Wilbur is infectious" –Make It Better
"Kauzlaric's expansion is really strong... the play communicates the difficulty and triumph of choosing acceptance over repudiation" –Time Out Chicago Kids

Unlike other naked mole rats, young Wilbur loves to wear clothes. By daring to defy social tradition, Wilbur makes life miserable for himself and his best friend. When the teasing and bullying at school get out of control, the pups take their case before Grand-pah: the greatest, wisest, and most naked naked mole rat ever. Will Grand-pah crush Wilbur’s self-expression, or open the door of acceptance to a misunderstood outsider? A heartwarming lesson on tolerance, in a world premiere musical adaptation for the whole family.
Recommended for kids 5 and up. Children under 2 are not permitted.
Based on the 2009 book by New York Times bestselling author Mo Willems (Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale, Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!)
Adapted by Robert Kauzlaric, Music by Paul Gilvary
