Event Details

Inspired by the beloved book, The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams, this new magical musical Velveteen, from Playhouse Square, introduces us to Lulu, her gran, her beloved toys, and a nest of legendary rabbits. Lulu confronts big change, having just moved in with her Gran. To make things a little more comfortable, Gran gives her a velveteen rabbit – just like the one her mom had. Velveteen and Lulu form a special bond, making some of the other toys jealous and leaving Velveteen wishing he could live outside with the “real” rabbits he meets through the window. As Lulu grows up, Velveteen ultimately finds a sense of belonging, discovering the power of love and what it means to be Real. The production brings magic and transformation to life onstage with a visionary set and playful costumes. Join us for an enchanted retelling of a timeless tale that will resonate across generations.
