"This exciting, new musical version of Charlotte's Web brings a new dimension to E.B. White's beloved classic. Thrill to a musical score which includes "Eating," Wilbur the pig's humorous yet poignant song about growing up; "Who Says We Can't Be Friends," an enchanting duet between Wilbur and his new-found companion Charlotte; "Welcome to the Zuckerman Barn," featuring all the story's unforgettable animals in a hand-clapping, toe-tapping hoe-down; and "Summer," a haunting, nostalgic chorus number which evokes a time and place from everyone's childhood."

The
Story: Charlotte's Web is the classic account of friendship, trust, and sacrifice, as the bond between Wilbur the pig and Charlotte the spider sets the pace for this heartwarming story. Wilbur, a naive youthful pig, is the runt of the litter with a big heart on the Zuckerman Farm. The other barnyard animals, including Templeton the Rat, tease Wilbur prompting the close friendship Wilbur develops with Charlotte. Wilbur is doomed for slaughter, and only a miracle can save him. The friendship between Wilbur and Charlotte is so strong that Charlotte saves him by spinning words in her web in an effort to convince the farmer that "Wilbur is some pig and worth saving" In this story, a very small pig finds that the most powerful source in the world is the bond of friendship.
