About: Get ready to rock out with a naked mole rat in a musical adventure like no other!

Based on Mo Willems’ beloved book, NAKED MOLE RAT GETS DRESSED: THE ROCK EXPERIENCE is a high-energy, rock ‘n’ roll celebration of self-expression and individuality. Wilbur, a curious naked mole rat, discovers something unexpected—clothes! But in the Tunnel, no one has ever worn them before. As Wilbur dares to be different, he sets off on a hilarious, heartwarming journey that encourages everyone to embrace their own unique style.

With catchy rock songs, lovable characters, and tons of fun, this interactive show will have audiences clapping, dancing, and cheering for Wilbur as he proves that being yourself is the coolest thing of all.

Come sing, dance, and rock your own style—because being different is something to celebrate!

Best enjoyed by: Anyone who loves to rock! This show features high-energy music that will be LOUD.

Themes: NAKED MOLE RAT GETS DRESSED: THE ROCK EXPERIENCE celebrates self-expression and staying true to who you are.

Story & Style: The play follows a fun and engaging narrative arc, much like the beloved book it's based on. While the book is written for PK-2, the performance is designed to entertain audiences of all ages.
