J.P. Chartier

J.P. Chartier’s new take on a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale is a contemporary musical retelling of The Emperor’s New Clothes that premiers at the Gladstone Theatre on Jan. 31. With an all-local cast and 18 original songs, Just Say the Word is bound to get audiences in the groove and on their feet. 

Brian Carroll: “Simon alone has been chosen to create a new world. Everything he writes will be in the new world. But everything he forgets to write will cease to exist. If he forgets to write giraffes, then giraffes will cease to exist.”

An astonishing 24 shows by 12 independent companies have been announced for The Gladstone’s 10th Anniversary Season.
