Young audiences will love this fresh twist to "The Emperor's New Clothes." The clothes-conscious Empress is constantly demanding that her talented seamstress, Carlina, devise ever-fancier and gaudier costumes in hopes of making the Best-Dressed List. But her costumes are in such terrible taste, nobody can stand to look at them. Enter Lucinda, the jealous Lady-in-Waiting who wants to overthrow the kingdom. Lucinda disguises herself as Madame La Belle Mimi Fifi and offers the Empress an imaginary fabric that only "honest" people can see. When the Empress parades in front of her entire Kingdom in her long red underwear (instead of the gorgeous Paris gown she thinks she is wearing), she learns an important lesson about vanity. The flexible cast makes the play ideal for touring, or additional characters and a chorus may be added for an expanded production. (A different adaptation of this fairy tale is available as a non-musical.)
