Cool Suit
Book, music and lyrics by Lauren Mayer

Cool Suit is a musical retelling of The Emperor’s New Clothes, written by Lauren Mayer.   Directed by Nick Sheler, with musical direction by James Reddan, the play is produced by George Lauris.

"Ridiculously delightful!"  This classic tale of the vain, clothes-horse Emperor rocks with music and comedy.  The music is theatrical pop and includes nine storytelling songs, such as "The Emperor's Song”, "It's Not Easy Being Perfect”, "Cool Suit”, "Strut Your Stuff”, and "Think for Yourself”.  A group of rebel tailors trick the vain Emperor into believing they can make him a cool suit that's so "stylish and chic, from a fabric magic and unique," that only the smart can see it.  A simple page tries to tell the Emperor it's a hoax - there is no invisible cool suit, but no one will listen. The royal ministers, the Emperor's doting mother, the servants - none will admit they can't see the cool suit.  The foolish Emperor dresses up in the cool suit he can't see. As the royal parade begins, the Emperor struts his stuff in his Teddy-bear underwear.  It takes a young child to tell him he's wearing nothing!  Along with the silliness and entertainment, there are genuine messages about sticking to ones’ convictions, pursuing goals, even if they seem difficult, and not going along with peer pressure.
