Black Beauty at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts

The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts welcomes Andy Cannon, Andy Manley, and Shona Reppe's Black Beauty when it comes to Beverly Hills as part of its American premiere tour. Based on the classic novel by Anna Sewell, Black Beauty follows brothers Andy McCuddy and Andy McCuddy (it's a family thing), self-described "purveyors of fine equestrian illusions," who've fallen on hard times. After all, it's hard to get a gig these days when you're the front and back of a theatrical pantomime horse! When the McCuddy brothers discover their beloved copy of Black Beauty in the cozy horse trailer they call home, they take the bit firmly between their teeth and re-enact portions of the page-turning adventure to lift their spirits. Blending storytelling, music and puppetry, this re-telling of the classic horse tale is sure to warm your heart. Running time includes one intermission. This show is recommended for ages 5 and up.
