The musical Goldilocks and Little Red Riding Hood opens today (Jan. 20) and continues through Feb. 5 by the Arkansas Arts Center Children's Theatre, Ninth and Commerce streets, Little Rock.  

The two classic stories are told by a friendly, ever-present quartet of singers that perform fun and catchy tunes written by Children’s Theatre composer Lori Isner.

“In this adaptation of Goldilocks and Little Red Riding Hood, we have approached these two very old stories in a new and fresh way,” says Children's Theatre artistic director Bradley Anderson. “We have used music as a way to make the wolf and bears less threatening and more, well, just plain humorous. The musical element of our adaptation is more than just a silly way to tell some once-scary stories. Rather, it gives the play a universal appeal and is a delight for audiences of all ages.”

Performances are at 7 p.m. Fridays, 3 p.m. Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are $14 for adults and $11 for children. Season ticket packages are available.
