Dear Edwina by Zina Goldrich and Marcy Heisler. It is set in the town of Paw Paw, Michigan, although the setting is more like Deerfield, Illinois, where the bookwriter/lyricist, Marcy Heisler, was born. Dear Edwina is about a girl, Edwina Spoonapple. Edwina has very talented siblings. But because of this, she thinks that she is not talented. Yet Edwina has many talents including leadership, singing and advising, and she combines all of them by directing musicals out of her garage.
The topic of these musicals is letters written to her by neighborhood kids who need advice. She gives them advice through songs and dances that she orchestrates with her friends. One of the main themes of Dear Edwina is Edwina's desire to be in the "Advice-a-palooza" festival because she feels it will prove that she is as talented as her siblings. This is all going on while Edwina's love interest, Scott, is trying to win her over. But, since Edwina is so concerned about her show, she doesn't care about Scott.
The show features such musical numbers as "Put It in the Piggy," "Frankenguest," "Fork Knife Spoon" and "Hola Lola." It is also performed in a junior version |
