The Emperor's Groovy New Threads

A Fashion Statement book by Frances Limoncelli, music and lyrics by … George Howe

A crazy quilt of mixed-up psychedelic fashion trends is the setting for this tongue-in-cheek retelling of the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale, set to a fun and sprightly score.

The country is ruled by a foppish fashionista of an Emperor who has bankrupted the treasury with his clothing expenditures. Frustrated by the Emperor’s slave-to-fashion mentality, ten-year-old Kid’s romantic dreams of being a hero make her determined to change everyone’s materialistic views. She travels to the palace to reveal the superficiality of the emperor, only to end up revealing much more of him than she predicted.
