This classic story has been cherished for generations, teaching kids the value of optimism, hard work, and perseverance. It centers around a little blue engine who faces a big challenge when a train full of toys and goodies needs to be transported over a steep mountain. Despite its size, the little engine enthusiastically accepts the challenge to pull the train. It is not just the train that needs help, but also the children waiting on the other side of the mountain. As the little engine begins to pull the train, it faces doubts and self-questioning, but it continuously repeats its mantra: “I think I can, I think I can.”
Don’t miss this brand-new musical adaptation of this beloved classic, coming live on stage, only at TOY!
