“The Phantom Tollbooth” The Kennedy Center on Tour
March 20, 2009
There is no reason to be bored in a world with so much to discover!
Even surrounded by dozens of toys, Milo is bored. Nothing interests him at all. But there is hope for Milo when “The Phantom Tollbooth” comes to the rescue!
Norton Juster’s children’s book is given full musical treatment in this acclaimed stage version of the beloved modern tale. The story follows Milo on his quest to save the princesses Rhyme and Reason and reunite the brother kings who rule over the cities of Dictionopolis and Digitopolis. Aided by a trusty time-keeping dog, Tock, Milo successfully brings harmony to the Land of Wisdom and learns many things about words and numbers along his journey. Perhaps the most important lesson he takes with him is that everything we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and everyone. When he returns home, he realizes there is never a reason to be bored in a world full of so many things to discover.
The Kennedy Center Theater for Young Audiences on Tour has presented more than 30 tours in hundreds of U.S. and Canadian cities.
