“Princess K.I.M. The Musical” is a humorous, upbeat play based on Cocca-Leffler’s best-selling children’s books about how a teeny tiny lie becomes a gigantic problem.

Coping with the loss of her mother, and to fit into her new school, Kim tells her classmates that she is a princess and her grandmother, a queen. Kim then goes comically overboard in her lessons learned about truth and lies, but in the end finally finds the courage to stand tall and be herself. www.PrincessKimTheMusical.com.

“Princess K.I.M. The Musical” was created with co-adapter Toby Tarnow, of Hollis; lyrics by Andrew Cass, of Milford; and music by Andrew Cass and Premik Russel Tubbs, of New York City.
