The puppets are coming, but they aren't from Sesame Street. These bad boys and girls - plus a couple of monsters - share a coming-of-age parable, addressing and satirizing the issues and anxieties associated with entering adulthood. Its clever score includes "If You Were Gay," "It Sucks to be Me," and "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist." For mature audiences only.
The Emmy Award-winning 1970s Saturday morning cartoon series that taught history, grammar, math, science and politics through clever songs is making a comeback! Tom, a school teacher nervous about his first day of teaching, tries to relax by watching TV when characters emerge from the set and show him how to win his students over with imagination and music, through such songs as "Just A Bill," and "Conjunction Junction."
The sad Nomax finds Big Moe, Four-Eyed Moe, Eat Moe, No Moe, and Little Moe to comfort him. They sing the hit songs of songwriter and saxophonist Louis Jordan. The rollicking jazzy score includes "I Like 'em Fat Like That," "Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens," and "Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby."
