Spookley the Pumpkin: The Musical

  • St. Paul's Church Outdoor Theater 166 High Street Newburyport, MA, 01950 United States (map)

Directed by Deirdre Budzyna.

 Spookley The Square Pumpkin: The Musical tells the story of a square pumpkin living in a round pumpkin patch on Holiday Hill Farm. Shunned by the other pumpkins, Spookley is befriended by Edgar, Allan and Poe, three hilarious spiders who convince him that, square or not, he has a right to be the Pick of the Patch. Encouraged by kindly Jack Scarecrow, Spookley tries his best, but he isn’t sure he has what it takes until a mighty storm threatens Holiday Hill Farm. Spookley realizes it is up to him and his square shape to save the day. As a result, all the pumpkins in the patch learn that the things that make you different make you special.

Book and Lyrics by Joe Troiano, Music composed and arranged by Jeffrey Zahn

Based on the book “The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin” written by Joe Troiano, the film “Spookley the Square Pumpkin” written by Joe Troiano and Tom Hughes, and the stage production directed and conceived by Jeff Frank and First Stage.
