WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Under the Bridge is a new musical based on the Newbery Award winning children's book The Family Under the Bridge by Natalie Savage Carlson. The show features book and lyrics by Kathie Lee Gifford, music by David Pomeranz and is directed by Eric Schaeffer. Presented by Lambchop Productions, Under the Bridge stars Ed Dixon.

The musical tells the story of Armand, a lifelong hobo in 1953 Paris who must give up his solitary, carefree life when he finds that three children and their working mother have claimed his shelter under the bridge. Armand reluctantly shares his space and simple means with the homeless Calcets, and throughout his many adventures with the children on the street of Paris he discovers his own need to find a "home" and the riches in life that come from family.
