The Tale of Chicken Licken - Or Don't Let Your Worst Fear Get the Best of You!
Retold in Script and Songs by Betsy Lee Bailey for ages 5-14
FLEXIBLE CAST of 19-30 (6+ males and 7+ females with 8+ of either gender)
RUNNING TIME: approx. 30 min.
Offered here are 2 different scripts. The second expands the role of Foxy Loxy to be a LEAD character:
1. The 2014 version is for a cast of 21-30 children. A couple of songs may simply be deleted if the show is done with younger cast ages 5-8. I have actually done this show successfully for a cast of 35 Second Graders. The whole school watched their performance and loved it.
2. The 2021 version is great for a 21-30 children ages 5-14. The expanded part for the Fox makes this show a lot of fun. The extra songs and dances give more opportunities for the older children to showcase their talents.
