The Flea and the Professor

Adapted from the last tale by Hans Christian Andersen, this new musical odyssey celebrates friendship, whimsy, and the excitement of the unknown ...

A young professor loses just about everything in the world

Everything, that is, except for the flea who lives in his vest

Starting over again, the Professor and the Flea become the best of friends, start a circus act, and set off to tour the world

And together they must overcome shipwrecks and cannibals

And tickling!
