| A Musical Mother Goose by Gerald P. Murphy |
| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 2. Minimum Female roles = 2. Minimum total with doubling = 9. Minimum total without doubling = 21. Chorus. Very flexible cast size, with the option of a non-acting chorus singing the songs (or even different groups singing different songs). |
| Run Time | Around 20 minutes. [Estimated!] |
| Music | Sheet music for 8 original songs is provided with the Producer's Copy of the script. |
| Style | Musical play (a series of linked sketches) for young children. Minimal set requirements |
| Synopsis | This is 'Mother Goose' in the American sense - a vehicle for stories and rhymes, rather than the English sense of a particular story about a character called Mother Goose. (For anyone curious about this difference, the American sense is taken from Charles Perrault's collection of fairy stories 'Les Contes de ma mère l'Oye' - literally 'The Tales of my mother the Goose' whilst the English version is the tale of the Goose that laid the golden eggs - generally given the English pantomime treatment, for which see elsewhere on this site.)
Anyway, in this case it's a collection of original stories and songs based on nursery stories and characters. |

A doctor proposes a remedy - the Queen needs to laugh, but nobody seems to be able to make her so much as smile, least of all Gooseberry, the jester. Fairy Crackers sends Gooseberry on a mission - to bring back the world's funniest joke! But even if he finds it, will the Queen regain her sense of humour? |
