Synopsis
From the stage of a 17th century theatre wagon, a traveling troupe of actors presents the original Perrault story of Puss in Boots with music and warmth, with humor and intrigue. When the town miller dies, all he leaves his third son Jean-Pierre is --- his cat. If that isn’t depressing enough, Jean-Pierre meets and falls in love with the unattainable Princess Juliana. Seeing his sadness, Puss creates a plan to help Jean-Pierre become rich and marry the Princess. All Puss asks in return is a wonderful pair of boots from the local cobbler shop. Being a fairy tale, the plan does succeed, of course, with a few twists and turns that require Puss to trick the king and defeat a terrible and terrifying ogre. You can expect music, humor and a delightfully happy ending.
