Petite Rouge: A Cajun Red Riding Hood updates the classic tale, sending the plucky heroine—now a red-robed little duck—and her ‘fraidy cat friend Te Jean on a perilous journey through the bayou. Along the way the pair tangle with a Big Bad Gator and lead him on a merry Mardi Gras chase. A chorus of swamp dwellers sings backup to the Zydeco-driven score in this foot-stomping musical.
