King Fredipus is always right – or is he? Find out at “The Nastiest Drink in the World,” the fun new musical by Vital Children’s Theatre.
If you’ve ever read “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” you know the plot: A king surrounds himself with yea-sayers who agree with everything he says and does, no matter how preposterous it is.
But one of Fredipus’ subjects disagrees. Her name is Samantha, and kids in the audience can help her concoct the “nastiest drink” to topple the king’s awful laws.
There’s a show today at 1 p.m. and every Saturday and Sunday through Feb. 23, with two shows Sundays at 1 and 3 p.m.
Tickets are $14. Reserve online at http://www.vitaltheatre.org or call (212) 592-4508. The theater is at 432 W. 42nd Street, third floor, between Ninth and 10th avenues.
