BETTER THAN A BULLY: THE MUSICAL

What happens when Annie, a girl who is bullied by her classmates, sets out on a mission to sing for her whole school?  How does she summon the bravery to sing in front of her peers?  And how does she handle the bullies she encounters along the way?


Annie’s journey comes to life in Better Than A Bully: The Musical, a heartfelt and uplifting new musical adapted from Tina Levine’s books “Better Than a Bully: Carrot Top’s Surprise “and “Better Than a Bully: JJ’s Friendships & Secrets”. With earnest dialogue, witty lyrics, and a bright poppy score, Better Than a Bully: The Musical invites young performers and audiences alike into a story they’ll never forget.
