The Emperor’s New Clothes is a version of the famous Hans Christian Anderson fairytale by Broadway stalwarts Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.
The play is described by Broadway Theatre International as a musical that follows ”a fourteen-year-old Emperor Marcus the Third who is nervous to take the throne”.
Deciding that he can only gain confidence by dressing in the finest attire, Marcus commands his Royal clothes maker to fashion him in the ‘most royal wardrobe’.
