In this high-energy musical, Bunni Hare is the fastest creature in the forest—and she knows it. With her flashy sneakers, over-the-top attitude, and non-stop bragging, Bunni wins race after race. But when humble and steady Thomas Tortoise steps up to challenge her, the competition takes an unexpected turn!
With the legendary sports broadcaster Howard “Crow”-sel calling the action in real time, this laugh-filled performance teaches kids (and grown-ups!) that confidence is great—but perseverance, patience, and heart matter even more.
Packed with toe-tapping original songs, lively choreography, and lovable characters, this musical delight brings timeless lessons to life:
- Believe in yourself, even when others doubt you
- Stay focused, even when the crowd is cheering for someone else
- Kindness and humility are just as powerful as speed and strength
