Based on the multi-award winning book by Danny Schnitzlein, this new musical tells the funny and poignant story of a young boy who doesn’t want to eat his peas. When a crafty monster appears underneath his kitchen table, the boy is ready to make a deal with the monster; if the monster eats his peas, the boy will give the monster any of his possessions. As the monster raises his stakes, will the boy make the difficult decision to face his own fears? Children and adults alike will be entertained and engaged by this wonderfully woven tale of the real value of will power.
