Metro Theater Company (MTC), St. Louis’s premier professional theater for youth and families and St. Louis’ third-oldest theater company, presents the Motown-meets-hip hop musical Last Stop on Market Street.
CJ is reluctantly staying with his Nana, a veritable force of nature who lives in a world considerably different than his own. Knowing CJ is used to being plugged in to his phone and tablet all the time, Nana takes him on a bus ride that’s loud, gritty and offbeat – guiding her grandson to travel a little close to his roots and see that things are not always what they seem.
Adapted from the New York Times bestselling and Newbery Medal-winning picture book, with a spectacular, spirited score by Motown legend Lamont Dozier and his son Paris Ray Dozier, don’t miss this vibrant story about connecting to your community.
“Like Hamilton for kids,” hails the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The Chicago Sun Times says, “Last Stop on Market Street is what children’s theater should be. It does not talk down to its audience. It is burgeoning with wonder. If you are a kid, you’ll giggle yourself silly. If you were once a kid, you just might remember what that felt like.”
The production is 70 minutes with no intermission and recommended for ages 5 and up.
Last Stop on Market Street runs live on stage February 6-27 at the Grandel Theatre, with socially distant seating. A virtual streaming option is also available February 11-27 at metroplays.org.
Tickets are $20-$36 and are available now through MetroTix at 314-534-1111 or https://www.metroplays.org/marketstreet.
