Image: Alexander In a delightful performance recommended for children ages 4 to 8, Fairfield University's Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts presents Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day , a Two Beans Productions' musical based on the classic book of the same name by Judith Viorst, at 11 a.m., Saturday, May 4, 2013. Tickets are $18 adults, $15 children.

Audience members will laugh and sing along with Alexander's misadventures in this hilarious musical production as they discover, along with Alexander, that sometimes, everyone has one of those kinds of days - even in Australia. Alexander can tell it's going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day when he wakes up with gum in his hair, trips on a skateboard, and then accidentally dries his wet face with his good sweater - all before breakfast. Alexander's day continues to go downhill, as his teacher doesn't like his drawing of an invisible castle, the shoe store is out of the sneakers he wants, and he accidentally makes a big mess in his dad's office. There's no dessert for lunch, there's lima beans for dinner, and even worse, he has to wear his polka-dot pajamas to bed. It's enough to make Alexander want to move to Australia.

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is a 60-minute musical, with no intermission, featuring five actors. The book and lyrics are written by Judith Viorst, who also wrote the original book upon which the musical is based. Music is by Shelly Markham, with direction by Rob Barron (TheatreworksUSA's "Charlotte's Web," "Ramona Quimby" and "Romeo & Juliet") and choreography by Cynthia Thole (TheatreworksUSA's "Mike Mulligan," "Ferdinand the Bull").
