Over the Moon - 9781442421325

Master storyteller and bestselling author Jodi Picoult teams up with Jake van Leer and Ellen Wilber to bring you an original musical, sure to breathe life into any middle school and high school drama curriculum.

Part Shakespearean comedy and part fractured fairy tale, Over the Moon is all fun. Narrated by a cross-dressing Hairy Godmother (no, that’s not a typo), the story begins when Luna (the moon) descends to a small town on earth disguised as a boy (Leo), and sets out to help humans find love. But Luna herself falls in love with Prince Jack...who’s in love with Felicity...who has fallen for Leo. On the way to happily ever after are a steady stream of clever puns, topical jokes, and just about every fairy-tale creature you’ve ever heard of!

With twenty original hum-worthy songs, plenty of spots to tailor the play to any city or town, a bountiful cast of characters, and even a sticker sheet to reward budding thespians, Over the Moon is the perfect choice for every school looking to perform an energetic show that’s fresh, funny, and timeless.
