Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the bravest Chihuahua of them all? Skippyjon Jones the Siamese cat who thinks he’s a Mexican Chihuahua of course!

There, as his alter ego Skippito Friskito, and with the help of his friends the Seven Chimichangos, Skippyjon must rescue the beautiful princess Nieve Qué (Snow What), battle the evil dragon and defeat the Bruja.

Skippyjon Jones is a Siamese cat who believes he’s a Chihuahua. You might think he’d require a veterinary psychologist or at least a visit from Jackson Galaxy, Animal Planet’s punked-out cat whisperer. But Theatreworks USA has a better idea: Just put the conflicted kitty onstage and let him act out his fantasies. The result is “Skippyjon Jones Snow What,” this company’s latest family musical in its program of free summer performances at the Lucille Lortel Theater. As young readers know, Skippyjon began life in the imagination of Judy Schachner, author of picture books about his south-of-the-border dreams. Three years ago, Kevin Del Aguila and Eli Bolin did the first Theatreworks Skippyjon adaptation, and they’ve reprised their collaboration for “Snow What.” And, amigos, I’m happy to report that this effort is just as clever, comical and boisterous.
