Gideon and the Blundersnorp
Official Los Angeles Cast Recording album available!
The show
Gideon is a stableboy who yearns to be a Royal Cavalier. Alanna is a young viscountess who wants to be free. Thrown together by chance, the two must contend with bandits, a treacherous forest, and a giant monster that’s very keen on eating everyone.
GIDEON AND THE BLUNDERSNORP combines witty characters, pulse-pounding excitement, and a rousing cinematic/medieval-folk score. Underlying the fun is a positive message: aspiration is fueled by personal character, not social class.
