Show Description
Alexander is having a bad day. A terrible day. A horrible day. To be
quite honest, it's a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. But
then, everybody has bad days, sometimes. In this delightful adaptation
of her popular book, Judith Viorst sets Alexander's rather trying life
to music and brings to the stage one of America's feistiest characters.
Not only does Alexander wake up with gum in his hair, but his mother
forgets to pack him dessert, and his best friend decides he's not his
best friend anymore. And if that's not bad enough, Alexander's brothers
don't have any cavities but—he does. And just when it can't get any
worse, there are lima beans for supper and —yuck!—kissing on TV. It is
enough to make anyone want to go to Australia. Alexander's struggles
with life's daily dramas will not only entertain but educate young
audiences as they identify with Alexander and the obstacles he
encounters, encouraging them to share their feelings and to realize that
bad days happen.
