Show Details
Run time is 45 minutes. For ages 3 and up. There are some loud sounds, flashing lights, and furry monster puppets in this show!

Filled with wonder, humor and oodles of warmth, you are sure to be charmed by this real gem of a show."

-Edinburgh Festival For Kids

Leonardo is a terrible monster. He tries so hard to be scary, but he just...isn’t. Then Leonardo finds Sam, the most scaredy-cat kid in the world. Will Leonardo finally get to scare the tuna salad out of someone? Or will it be the start of an unlikely friendship? The plot thickens when this pair meets Kerry and Frankenthaler, an even scaredier-cat and her monster friend. Kerry and Sam need to make a big decision: will they just be scaredy cats or can they become friends?

Leonardo! A Wonderful Show About a Terrible Monster uses hundreds of illustrated paper puppets, book pages, two-dimensional props, furry monster puppets, and songs to bring Mo Willems’ books to life.

“This message of friendship and acceptance comes at the perfect time.”

-Chicago Tribune
