Dory is a mischievous 6-year-old who just doesn’t want to grow up. Her older brother and sister wish she’d stop acting like a baby, but when her siblings need her, it’s Dory’s imagination and bravery that will save the day.

The co-creators of Broadway’s a cappella musical In Transit and NYCCT’s Dear Albert Einstein bring the popular children’s book to life as a coming-of-age musical comedy.
