Coraline

producer: MCC Theater

From the theater that brought you "reasons to be pretty," a new family musical (recommended for kids 8 and up) adapted from the terrifying children�s book by Neil Gaiman and starring Tony nominee Jayne Houdyshell.

The production of Coraline closed July 5, 2009. For current Broadway show listings and tickets, please click here.
From the theater:

Poor bored Coraline. She�s left to rattle 'round her perpetually distracted, workaholic parents� house all by her lonesome. But late one night, her dreams of a better reality come true as she opens a big, carved, wooden door at the far end of the drawing room and passes into a perfect replica of her own world. When she�s greeted there by a vastly loving Other Mother and a kindly Other Father, she�s thrilled! But as the rats start to creep from the floorboards, and the way home becomes increasingly unclear, Coraline begins to suspect that, perhaps, all is not as perfect as it seems�

Although Coraline is a bit scary, we believe is a show that children will enjoy. There is no overt violent, sexual, or obscene content. We recommend it for children 8 years of age or older. Children under 5 are not permitted in the theater.

What's MCC? MCC is a surprisingly well-connected Off-Broadway company...this perhaps due to the 'day jobs' of the intendants, who are major casting directors and producers on larger stages in the city. MCC's productions are almost always marked by a very high standard of casting and technical production. More here.
