In this show, inspired by
the classic folk tale The Brementown Musicians, a quartet
of friends must work together to save their home. Hendrix the
Donkey, Presley the Rooster, Nicks the Cat and Nash the Dog all
live together on the idyllic country farm under the care of
Farmer Blue.
For many years, life is
pleasant and peaceful, but Farmer Blue starts to get too old to
grow the vegetables that pay for the farm. One fateful day,
Farmer Blue receives a letter stating that if he cannot buy the
farm, it will be sold to the highest bidder at auction.
That highest bidder is sure
to be Warrington Wolf, the mean mayor of Brementown. Together
with his partner in crime, the dangerous and cunning Sebastian
Fox, Warrington Wolf plans to demolish the farm and make himself
a summer mansion. This nefarious pair is absolutely determined
to take the Blue Farm and will stop at nothing to do so. Though
Warrington Wolf has always seemed to be an upright and lawful
citizen of Brementown, Sebastian Fox has a history of mayhem.
Farmer Blue and the four
animals are heartbroken at the prospect of losing their home.
It is Presley, who has always dreamed of fame, who has the idea
to travel to Brementown and enter the annual Battle of the
B-Town Bands. The prize money would be more than enough to pay
for the farm. Hendrix, Presley, Nicks and Nash take what little
money they have, pick up some instruments, and begin their
journey as the Blue Farm Four.
Sebastian Fox and
Warrington Wolf learn of the clever plan to save the Blue Farm
and they decide that they must stop the little band from winning
the big show. Warrington Wolf uses his mayoral influence to get
the Stripes Gang released from jail. The Stripes Gang, a group
of wicked raccoon robbers, is happy to follow the lead of the
notorious Sebastian Fox, and together they go into the woods to
stop the Blue Farm Four.
As the Blue Farm Four
travels through the woods, many things start to go wrong. The
Stripes Gang steals their instruments and all of their music.
Still, they refuse to give up. Sebastian Fox tries to use his
smooth talking ways to convince them to go back to the farm, but
they still persevere. Warrington Wolf tries to bribe the
friends, but they do not accept. Sebastian even tries to
threaten the Blue Farm Four, and get them to fight with one
another, but they manage to stay together and pass through the
danger of the woods.
At long last they arrive in
Brementown, but things do not look good for the Blue Farm Four.
They are weary and disheveled from the journey, they have no
instruments, no music, and they are too late to audition for the
competition. Just as it seems that all hope is lost, they run
into the famous Sammy Starr, a savvy city squirrel who runs the
Battle of the B-Town Bands. Sammy is so impressed with them
that she immediately invites them to compete in the big show.
All of Brementown comes to
see the big competition. Sebastian Fox and the Stripes Gang
make an appearance, singing music and playing instruments that
they stole from the Blue Farm Four. When Hendrix, Presley,
Nicks and Nash perform, they prove that they are the greatest
new musicians in the land. In the end, not even Warrington
Wolf, who is helping to judge the competition, can deny that the
Blue Farm Four are the winners. They win the prize money
and save the farm.
Join our Storytellers and colorful cast of
animals as these friends band together to save their home. This
new musical features a lively soundtrack of original music in a
lively pop rock style. It also stresses the importance of
sportsmanship, teamwork, confidence, and friendship.
