Madeline

"In an old house in Paris all covered with vines lived twelve little girls in two straight lines..." Thus begins this musical adaptation of the classic 1930's children's book about Madeline, the smallest and bravest of the twelve little girls.

One year, at Christmas time, as Madeline, her friends and Miss Clavel get ready by making presents for family and friends, decorating the school and baking cakes and cookies, Paris is hit by a huge and very unexpected snowstorm.

One day, the Spanish Ambassador moves into the house next door to Madeline's school, and he has a son, a 'bad hat' named Pepito.

As we know well by now, no one knows better "how to frighten Miss Clavel" than Madeline.

Pepito invites Madeline and the girls to a Gypsy carnival.

"Not a single eye was dry" the day the Spanish Ambassador moved to London, taking Madeline's dear friend Pepito with him.
