WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Captain Louie, a new family musical with music and lyrics by Academy and Grammy-Award winner Stephen Schwartz, has its world premiere at The York Theatre Company. Based on the picture book The Trip by Caldecott Award-winning author Ezra Jack Keats, Captain Louie is directed by Meridee Stein, with music direction by Edward Barnes and choreography by Joshua Bergasse.
Young Louie feels lonely and without friends in his new neighborhood. Looking for something to cheer himself up on Halloween Night, Louie returns to his old neighborhood friends in an imaginative journey on the wings of his favorite toy, his little red plane. The story is full of tricks and treats, and the incomparable music and lyrics of Stephen Schwartz. Most of all, Captain Louie is about friendship -- the ability to make new friends and the importance of old ones.

Anyone who frequents children's theater can tell you that a large part of its appeal is the simple joy of it all. Take some enthusiastic young actors, add a lot of creativity and heart, subtract crass commercialism, and you get a good picture of your average children's show. However, good intentions don't always equal good material; so it's exciting to see the name of Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin) attached to Captain Louie, the current production of the York Theatre Company.
With a book by Anthony Stein, based on the Ezra Jack Keats story "The Trip," Captain Louie actually debuted more than 20 years ago but was recently expanded to its current version, which runs just a little over [...]
