Musical Theater Premiere: The Emperor’s New Clothes

The Emperor’s New Clothes” Gets a Musical Makeover for Young Audiences!

This fall, the spotlight belongs to kids with big imaginations and even bigger voices. An all-new, original adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s timeless fable “The Emperor’s New Clothes” comes to the Steele Lane Community Center in a dynamic musical version inspired by the rhythmic swagger of Hamilton and the vibrant perspective of children themselves.
This hour-long production brings fresh energy to the well-known tale of vanity, deception, and courage, reimagined through the lens of young people who aren’t afraid to speak the truth — even when the grownups won’t. With a cast of passionate young performers and a script that blends humor, heart, and hip-hop, this show invites audiences of all ages to consider how people from different classes should treat each other and what it means to be a good leader.
