Director’s Note
The cast and crew are thrilled to welcome you to our 5th-grade musical, "The Aristocats Adventure"! As we embark on this delightful journey through the streets of Paris, we are excited to bring the charming world of "The Aristocats" to life for you, our audience.
Based on the beloved Disney classic, this musical adaptation follows the adventures of Duchess and her three kittens, Marie, Berlioz, and Toulouse. When they are cat-napped and abandoned in the countryside, they must find their way back home with the help of some new friends, including the street-smart alley cat, Thomas O'Malley. Beyond the fun and excitement, this story highlights the importance of family, friendship, and bravery.
In a world where challenges can seem overwhelming, Duchess and her kittens remind us of the strength found in unity and the courage to face the unknown. They show us that with a little help from our friends, we can overcome any obstacle. A production like this is a team effort. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the production team for their dedication and expertise. Without their hard work and commitment, this show would not be possible. We also want to give a special shout-out to our 16 student volunteers who are assisting backstage with lights, costumes, and sound. To everyone in the cast and crew, thank you for embodying the values of honesty, respectfulness, responsibility, kindness, and courage. We hope you enjoy the show and find the magic in every moment.
Sit back, relax, and let the adventure begin!
