The Dix Hills Performing Arts Center presents the World Premiere of “Moey’s Fairytale Adventure” An Original Musical Comedy Fable The Dix Hills Performing Arts Center presents Moey’s Fairytale Adventure, a 60-minute, fun-filled, immersive musical, ideal for children ten years old and younger. The world premiere performances will be held Saturday, Dec. 7th at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 8th at 12:00 noon and 3 p.m. Tickets are just $10, and will have the entire family dancing in the aisles. The play is the brainchild of acclaimed children’s performer Melissa Levis, also known as Moey, and was adapted from a book by authors Leah Lane and Stewart F. Lane, a Tony Award winner. The play is being produced by Bonnie Comley and Alyssa Renzi, and directed by Five Towns College professor and Broadway veteran Marie Danvers. Moey’s Fairytale Adventure introduces children to Tina, a clever young girl, who is on a quest to rescue Storyland from certain doom. Together, Tina and the children will learn to use the power of music and imagination to save Storyland and outwit the Big, Bad Wolf. Melissa Levis is an award-winning children’s songwriter who created the character of Moey in 2005. Sporting her signature pink, sparkly
dress, Moey is one of the most well-recognized and beloved performers among boys and girls in the eight-and-under-set in New York City. The New York Post dubbed her The Pied Piper in Pink because her young fans faithfully follow her band, Moey’s Music Party, from gig to gig. Melissa, who has written for numerous Off-Broadway productions, discovered the joys of singing to children after the birth of her son. As Music Director of a New York City pre-school, she honed her skills and developed a real sense of the kind of music that children find inspiring. Melissa has been profiled in The New York Times, New York Post, The Huffington Post, Time Out NY Kids and numerous other publications. New York Family magazine called her “Part Auntie Mame, part Mary Poppins, part Maria Von Trapp.” Her Off-Broadway family musical, “Moey Live – P is for Party”, won critical raves. She was a recent panelist at Kindiefest, the national family music conference. Melissa graduated from Brown University and received an MFA from the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. She lives in New York City with her husband and son.
