Norton Juster’s beloved children’s book is given full musical treatment in this acclaimed stage version of the Phantom Toll Booth. Milo must save the princesses Rhyme and Reason and reunite the brother kings who rule over the cities of Dictionopolis and Digitopolis. Aided by a trusty time-keeping dot, Tock, Milo successfully brings harmony to the Land of Wisdom and learns many things about words and numbers along his journey. But the most important lesson he learns is that everything we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and everyone. When he returns home, he realizes there is never a reason to be bored in a world full of so many things to discover.
