A Munsch-Loved Adventure!

Prepare yourself for delightfully noisy bedtimes and a blowhard dragon leaping from the page to the stage! Whether it’s your first Munsch adventure or a nostalgic return, the whole family will love this celebration of childhood – from its funny frustrations to the unbreakable bonds we share with the ones we love most.
