Peabody Foundation Presents: Clifford, The Big Red Dog, The Musical!

Everyone's favorite Big Red Dog, CLIFFORD - bounds onto the stage in a brand-new musical comedy adventure that celebrates friendship, imagination and the magic of unconditional love! Emily Elizabeth absolutely adores her new puppy - the tiny red runt of the litter. But when her GIANT love makes Clifford grow into a GIANT, the family must trade their cramped city apartment for a home on Birdwell Island - where folks aren't so sure about a house-sized, playful pup. Worried his colossal clumsiness is keeping Emily Elizabeth from making friends, Clifford wishes he never grew so big - and it works! He enjoys a fur-tastic small-dog-sized day...until his adventurous BFF and her new island friends get stuck in a place from which only a BIG red dog can save them. Clifford The Big Red Dog: The Musical is full of extra-large laughs, joy and love - the paw-fect show for Clifford's growing young fans - and nostalgic parents who remember him too.

Tickets only available on Peabody Foundation's website!
