Happily Ever Moey: A Fairy Tale Lark in Central Park

Sporting 14 tunes, this song-and-dance-filled program features singer/guitarist Melissa “Moey” Levis, who adds hip music and lyrics to retellings of classic fairy tales. Backed by musicians “Princess” Adriane Palikat and “Captain” Ari Jacobson, Moey dresses up in costume along with 65 youngsters play-acting scenes in Central Park on tunes including “Leave the Bears Alone” (about hard-on-the-furniture Goldilocks), “You Can't Blow Me Down” (the tale of the Three Little Pigs), “20 Mattresses” for the Princess and the Pea (“…the girls who are royals are spoiled through and through”), hippity-hoppity “Slow & Steady” (Tortoise and the Hare), “Sing Little Mermaid,” and the Ugly Duckling tale “You're Different” (“you're a cutie patootie, shake your booty”). Also including an audio music CD, plus behind-the-scenes featurettes, this title from a self-proclaimed “mommy rocker” is easily recommended. Aud: K, P. (J. Williams-Wood)
