The musical production is sure to delight while meeting standards in both English Language Arts and Music while also reinforcing lifelong character lessons. This story has something to say about choosing friends, not being fooled into doing something silly, and teaches the importance of telling the truth. The Kingdom of Glump has been falling apart ever since the pampered emperor became wrapped up in his tasteless wardrobe! Not only is he a big headed clothes-aholic, his three daughters are quickly becoming chips off the old block. The Emperor is a vain and silly guy – always looking for the most beautiful and expensive new clothing. Along come two con artists, Wart & Hog, crafty swindlers who devise an ingenious plan for fooling the Emperor. Nothingpleases the pompous Emperor more than a new suit of clothes. So when he hears of a magic material that has the remarkable quality of being invisible, he calls for the tailors at once. Everyone pretends to “see” the magic cloth. Will the Emperor wander the kingdom in his birthday suit, or will everyone, tell him the truth? No one dares until the emperor’s servant boy covers him up at the parade, laying bare the facts: the emperor has no clothes on and is in his underwear! The emperor vows to his kingdom that he not only will keep his clothes on, but will reform his ways.
