The Cazenovia Jr. High Drama Club this past weekend presented a production of Roald Dahl’s “James and the Giant Peach JR” this past weekend. A delightfully offbeat adaptation of the classic Roald Dahl adventure, “James and the Giant Peach JR” is a fantastical tale of a boy, his insect friends and their amazing journey across the ocean on a giant piece of fruit.
Featuring music and lyrics by the Tony-nominated songwriters Justin Paul and Benj Pasek and book by Timothy Allen McDonald, “James and the Giant Peach JR” tells the story of a young orphaned child who finds a loving family in a most peculiar way.
The musical was performed Nov. 1-3 in the high school auditorium, with featured performances by:
JP Hoak — Ladahlord
Elijah Gebers — James
Corinne Alicker — Ladybug
Ethan Coburn — Grasshopper
Meghan Mehlbaum — Spider
Gabriel Lowenstein — Earthworm
Ella Salzman — Centipede
Maren Smith — Spiker
Abby Falso — Sponge
