Synopsis: “Tuck Everlasting” is a profound and heartwarming story about a young girl with a longing for adventure named Winnie Foster, who runs away from home and discovers a peculiar family with the apparent secret to eternal life! When Winnie discovers this secret, she must fight to protect it from those who would do anything to never die, especially the sinister, enigmatic, and wickedly charming Man in the Yellow Suit. Winnie must learn for herself about the meaning of life, and whether living forever is all that it is claimed to be.

 

There are so many great leads and supporting characters, as well as a critical ensemble that adds so much to the dance, vocal, and emotional foundation of the show. The music is equal parts energetic and heartfelt, moving the show along the percussive ticking of a clock.
