at the UN TO SAVE THE PLANET is a musical for everyone interested in the future of our only home...the Earth. This one-hour musical has won several awards, including the 1994 Gobal 500 Award from the United Nations for its inspirational message and important content.

The story follows an environmental scientist and his dedicated daughter as they journey to the world's worst ecological hot spots. At every stop, the upbeat music reflects the cultural heritage of the country. They visit Pakistan, Brazil, Mexico, the Pacific Islands…and tackle issues of deforestation, pollution, over-fishing, population and energy consumption with intelligence, humor and even-handedness. The music is simply brilliant. This is an unforgettable show!

As the story unfolds, more and more of Earth's creatures are lost to extinction. But it isn't until the children disappear that the people really take notice. The children have been spirited away by the scientist's daughter, driving home her point that ecological neglect will forfeit all their futures. The scientist searches far and wide, but finding the children is only part of his problem. Once found, he must convince them to return. In a moving speech, he explains how their generation will be the one making the most important environmental decisions. They must come back and be part of the solution. Together, they return To Save the Planet! Original Cast

SAMPLE LYRICS AND ARTWORK
FROM THE STUDY BOOK
Where Are the Frogs?
It began in the first garden
Where the soft rain fell, sweet and crystal clear.
Flowers grew, colored ev'ry hue;
But there was no cheer...no one singing here.

Then came the frogs, tapping toes upon the logs,
Putting rhythm in the air with an amphibian flare.
First they cleared their throats, coughing in toadish croaks.
Then the croaking turned to song...and that how music was born!
