Event Description
Inspired by The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams, the magical new musical Velveteen introduces us to Lulu, her gran, her beloved toys, and a nest of legendary rabbits. After the loss of her mother, Lulu is now living with her gran. Gran gives her a velveteen rabbit – just like the one her mom had. Velveteen and Lulu form a special bond, making some of the other toys jealous and leaving Velveteen wishing he could live outside with the “real” rabbits he meets through the window. Ultimately, Velveteen finds a sense of belonging as Lulu adjusts to life with Gran. Velveteen – at times thoughtful, playful at others – is an uplifting story about the importance of being your authentic self.
