About This Show
Stars in the Park presents the children’s show A Pocketful of Rhymes at the Kelsey.
Kristin Heiser stars as Mother Goose in this joyful musical revue. She shares the stage with 19 energetic children in roles that include "Little Miss Muffet" as a flapper, "Humpty Dumpty" as a swing dancer, and Elvis crooning the "Little Girl Blues."
Among the nursery rhymes presented with an international flair are "Mary Had a Little Lamb" direct from the Far East, "There Was An Old Woman" performed as a traditional Israeli dance, "Little Bo Peep" and "Simple Simon" as characters in a Louis XIV-era music box, "Jack Be Nimble" flamenco-style, "Little Jack Horner" doing the tarantella, "Tom The Piper’s Son" playing the Scottish bagpipes, Russian boatmen dancing to "Hi Diddle Diddle," and "Jack Sprat" performing an Austrian waltz.
