Clifford The Big Red Dog: The Musical

A puppy who loves so hard he grows to the size of a house.

Emily Elizabeth adores her new puppy, the tiny red runt of the litter, right up until her giant love turns Clifford giant too. The family swaps a cramped city apartment for a home on Birdwell Island, where the neighbors are not at all sure about a house sized playful dog. Convinced his colossal clumsiness is costing Emily Elizabeth her friendships, Clifford wishes himself small again, and it works, until his adventurous best friend and her new island friends get stuck somewhere only a big red dog can reach.

It is a brand new musical comedy built on friendship, imagination and unconditional love, with as much in it for parents who grew up on Clifford as for the children who have only just found him.
