We can't help shouting...THIS SHOW IS A BLAST!
Shhh! at the Sugar Cube Cafe, the newest kid's show from Musicals for Change, is set in the busy city of Ballyhoo where exuberant street musicians dance, sing, and play bucket drums until Sheryl, the owner of the Sugar Cube Café, and her neighbors demand that City Council ban all public music. Keesha, a teenage newcomer to Ballyhoo and summer employee at the Sugar Cube supports the ban until one hot summer evening when she is enthralled by the sound of a mysterious instrument. Soon, she and her brother Landon decide to fight for the musicians - and even become musicians themselves.

"We performed Shh! At the Sugar Cube Cafe for our summer community drama program this year. It was such a fun, delightful, and entertaining show, and our audience loved it! Most importantly, our cast members loved it! The songs are both beautifully written and fun to perform. The dialogue is witty and entertaining. It is sure to be a hit for your next performance!" Tara H., Director, New Wilmington Theater Project
