Really Rosie
Opening Night: August 2, 2017
Closing: August 5, 2017
Theater: New York City Center
The genius of Where the Wild Things Are meets the genius of Tapestry in this sweet, sad, wonderful musical by Maurice Sendak and Carole King about a little girl in Brooklyn with a big imagination. Can her dreams come true, or does growing up mean letting go? Inspired in part by the stories in Sendak’s Nutshell Library, Really Rosie’s irresistible songs include “Pierre,” “Alligators All Around,” and “Chicken Soup with Rice.” There will be free family-friendly activities taking place throughout City Center one hour before every performance of Really Rosie! Activities include a fun photo booth where you can make a GIF of yourself, coloring, a scavenger hunt, and more. (Please note that activities may vary.)

It’s a truth Maurice Sendak often explored in his books that parents cannot understand or properly judge the little id bundles they call their children. So perhaps Sendak couldn’t understand or properly judge “Really Rosie,” the 1980 musical he wrote with Carole King. According to his friend Tony Kushner, he loved it; it was the one adaptation of his work he felt was “completely him.”
