Mark Twain's classic story comes to exuberant musical life in this Broadway adaptation of America's favorite book. strongTHE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER/strong is the irresistible story of a fourteen-year-old boy growing up in the heartland of America. brbrThis Broadway musical version of Mark Twain's immortal novel is set in 1840 in St. Petersburg, Missouri, a bustling town on the banks of the Mississippi River. In the course of the story, Tom matches wits with his stern Aunt Polly, falls in love with the beautiful, feisty Becky Thatcher, and goes on the adventure of his life with Becky and that irresistible renegade, Huckleberry Finn. Along the way we meet a terrifying villain named Injun Joe, Tom's bratty half-brother Sid, and all the other boys and girls in the village - providing one scene-stealing children's role after the other!p As this fun-filled musical unfolds, we share with Tom and his friends all of the rollicking and heart-stopping adventures that we find in Twain's masterpiece, whether it's Tom tricking his friends into white-washing the fence ("Smart Like That"), crossing swords with schoolmaster Lemuel Dobbins ("Hey, Tom Sawyer"), getting lost in McDougal's Cave ("Angels Lost"), or taking on the Reverend Sprague in church ("In The Bible"). /pp Filled with foot-stomping, toe-tapping songs by a href="http://mtishows.com/biography.asp?writerid=3273"Don Schiltz/a (span style="font-weight: bold;"THE GAMBLER/span), and a warm, funny book by a href="http://mtishows.com/biography.asp?writerid=3388"Ken Ludwig/a (span style="font-weight: bold;"CRAZY FOR YOU/span, span style="font-weight: bold;"LEND ME A TENOR/span),strong THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER/strong is a tale of thrilling escapes, comedy and inspiration for the whole family. /p
