Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley Jr.

LCPBooklistBanner2021

A booklist for: The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley Jr.
Production dates: March 7-16, 2014

This is a booklist created by Gere Branch library staff to accompany the stage production of The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley Jr. at Gere’s neighbor, The Lincoln Community Playhouse.

The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley is a staged musical adaptation, for youth casts, of the Flat Stanley books by children’s author/illustrator Jeff Brown, with music by Timothy Allen McDonald, Jonathan K. Waller, David Weinstein and Stephen Gabriel, and lyrics by McDonald and Waller. Stanley Lambchop is your ordinary, everyday ten-year-old until the bulletin board on the wall above his bed comes loose and falls right on top of him. The next morning, Stanley wakes up flat. In a whirlwind musical travelogue, Stanley – the ultimate exchange student – scours the globe for a solution to his unusual problem. He’s stamped, posted and cancelled from Hollywood and France to Honolulu and beyond, all in an effort to become a three-dimensional boy once more.
