The Emperor's New Threads: A Fashion Statement

The Emperor's New Threads: A Fashion Statement

Lifeline Theatre
6912 North Glenwood Chicago

The Emperor is beloved as a chic trendsetter, but his ridiculous fashion tax is bankrupting the country. Determined to be a hero for the ages, one young girl travels to the royal palace to confront the superficial ruler and teach him a lesson about what really matters. Soon, however, a devious con man hatches a sinister plot to send the Emperor out among the people in nothing but his birthday suit, and only our heroine can save “His Royal Groovyness” from a world of embarrassment – but should she? The hilarious hit musical returns! Based on the 1837 folktale by Hans Christian Andersen (The Little Mermaid, The Ugly Duckling).
