Extra! Extra! Read all about it! call out the Three Blind Mice newsies. In this hilarious courtroom comedy, Dish and Spoon from the Hey Diddle Diddle Band have been abducted and everyone thinks Itsy Bitsy Spider is to blame!

Itsy Bitsy boldly maintains his or her innocence, telling a tale of a sudden rainstorm and a waterspout, even as Prosecutor Muffet commits to convicting the washed-out spider. Candlestick-obsessed Judge Jack B. Nimble does little to keep order in the court, though thankfully Bailiff Mother Hubbard takes justice more seriously. But is Miss Muffet following the true intent of the law, or is she simply holding a grudge about that tuffet incident? It certainly doesn t look good for the spider when every witness from Jack and Jill to Humpty Dumpty reports seeing a suspect with eight legs. And there s only one defendant in the courtroom matching that description!

A slew of short scenes with just a handful of characters needed for each makes rehearsals a breeze in this fast-paced nursery rhyme mash-up that s a full docket of fun for all ages.
