Step into the colourful, chic, flamboyant and fabulously over-the-top-world of Threads: The Emperor’s New Clothes Musical! - a fresh, fashionable fun twist to the classic Hans Christian Andersen tale that’s perfect for kids and parents alike!
Meet Millie, a bright young fashion designer with big dreams. But there’s one problem - Arnold Wintor, the powerful editor of Emperor Magazine whose ego is as inflated as an overstuffed puffer jacket and his delusions are as grand as his magazine empire. Arnold’s used to getting his way, and after he discovers Millie’s unique fashion label, Threads, he has designs on a take-over. But Millie hatches a clever plan to show the world that even the most powerful can be brought down a peg (or two).
Will Millie’s dreams to be a world class designer come true? Will Arnold learn his lesson? Or will the emperor end up with no clothes?
With a toe-tapping score, laugh-out-loud moments, and a playful story about creativity, courage, and standing up to bullies, Threads: The Emperor’s New Clothes Musical is a fun, fashionista-filled adventure the whole family will enjoy.
