Threads - The Musical!

About This Show

When the Emperor unwittingly hires thieves Gonev and Gonevet to weave him a fantastic new costume from gold thread, even the Emperor’s own children fail to see the mysterious work that, according to the sly scoundrels, only those suited for their position can see. And certainly the looms appear bare to court jester Hyster and chief advisor Sir Egged— although they will say and do anything not to let on as they sing the comical “I See It”, one of the eight delightful musical numbers. But the Empress fails to be fooled. And with the royal staff sworn to secrecy that there are no new threads, the Emperor is left strutting before his people clothed only in long underwear to learn firsthand an important lesson in humility.
