Roald Dahl's Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf: A Howling Hilarious Musical

by Matthew White, Ana Sanderson

Roald Dahl's Little Red Riding Hood, is an exciting addition to A&C Black's Roald Dahl series of musicals for schools. It joins the famously infamous Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs and the very smelly but loveable Jack and the Beanstalk in a glittering line up of wickedly funny productions which children and audiences just love. The plot twists something like this: Mr Wolf thinks he's a match for Little Red Riding Hood and her three little piggie pals. He snatches a lead on her and gobbles up Grandma - but his hair raising antics will cost him his skin. And it's sweet Little Red Riding Hood herself who has the ace up her sleeve - or, to be frank - the pistol in her knickers. Schools can now buy a performance licence online at the brand new A&C Black musicals website (live from March 05), which also has a forum, a Hall of Fame, and regular updates and free extras to download. Another winner!

***5/5 Stars!!!

"Whips a pistol from her knickers!"

This is my favorite part in this adaptation/version of this story because Little Red Riding Hood turns out to be a quick thinker and realize that the situation requires some self-defense. This is very empowering to little girls and boys reading this, knowing that they can defend themselves and stand up to the wolves in their lives.

A Review of Roald Dahl's Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf in a Sentence

It's funny, sharp, and definitely not intended for children with a nice subversive twist. Recommended.

I listened to Roald Dalh's version of Little Red Riding Hood as this week's non-print material. It was an honest moment of laughing-out-loud.
