Little Red the Musical

About

Little Red feels she is grown up enough to be allowed to visit her Grandma, who lives in the forest. When reports come in that Grandma is sick, she convinces her parents -- a very busy Bubble Gum Factory executive and a Podiatrist -- that she can be trusted to go on her own. Off she goes -- encountering adventures (including meeting magical, talking flowers). Meanwhile, a Wolf comes to Grandma's house and eats her and then poses as Grandma, hoping to also eat Red. When Red arrives, she suspects that something is up and outwits the Wolf, saving her Grandma and herself.
