WFerdinand the Bull is a hilarious, Flamenco-flavored family musical based on the beloved book by Munro Leaf. This classic tale of individuality set in Spain is about a bull named Ferdinand and the young Duke Danilo. Ferdinand doesn’t want to fight and butt heads like all the other bulls - he wants to take care of his beautiful flowers! Meanwhile, the young Danilo wants to dance but his father, the belligerent Duke Dodo, wants him to be a great, macho Spanish bullfighter. When the Duke goes to find the toughest ‘toro’ (bull) for his son’s first bullfight, he mistakenly picks gentle Ferdinand. Will Ferdinand and Danilo decide to follow their own hearts or live out the expectations of others?
This musical is an exuberant romp about being true to yourself and refusing to be ‘bull-ied’ into acting like someone you're not. Kids and adults will love the clever wordplay, Spanish flair, lively music and comical characters including the punny, funny pig Cochina who serves as Ferdinand’s hammy sidekick. Ole!
