A shoe-sical is taking over The Tank this October! The world premiere of Simon and His Shoes is currently running at The Tank through October 30. Penned by Steph Singer and Laurel Haines, Simon and His Shoes follows pair of shoes, Bud and Beedle, who walk out on their owner, Simon, because he doesn’t wear them and he never even leaves the house. With the help of his sister Izzy, Simon chases after his shoes, winding up on the adventure of a lifetime.
The family-friendly musical directed by Meghan Finn stars Sammy Pignalosa as Simon and features original puppets by The Ladies of Mischief. Puppeteers include Mery Cheung, Julia Darden, Sadie Jayne Kennedy, Layla Khoshnoudi, Madelyn Robinson, Christina Rodriguez, Gretchen Wylder, and Sarah Ziegler. The production also features vocal performances by Christian McQueen, Steph Singer, and Nadine Wild-Palmer.
