SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK LIVE TOO! is an energetic, colorful, fast-paced musical with zany, loveable characters. The show draws its inspiration from the Emmy Award-winning Saturday morning cartoon series, popular in the 1970's. Far from outmoded, however, SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK LIVE TOO! is full of modern lyrics, catchy melodies, upbeat dance sections, and witty banter.
Audiences of all ages will fall in love with Nina, the owner of a fading diner and her wacky friends. Together, this charismatic crew (made up of a friendly waitress, a regular at the diner, a chef, and a first-day schoolteacher) tries to brainstorm ways to save their run down diner. As they reject one idea after the next, they remain encouraged by songs from their favorite show, Schoolhouse Rock. Songs like The Rockin' Medley, Electricity and Dollars. In the end, they realize that the answer was right in front of them all along... the Conjunction Junction Diner is up and running and open for business!
