Max and the Truffle Pig
Book by Suzanne Bradbeer
Lyrics by Nancy Leeds
Music by Bert Draesel
Based on Judith Gwyn Brown’s 1963 children’s book, Max tells the unconventional love story of a boy, Max (Kevin Michael Murphy) and his new pig, Suzette (Jennifer Albano), who discover their purposes in life while on a fungus-digging adventure for Max’s blustery chef father Gerard (Jeremy Schwartz). Suzette isn’t really a truffle pig; in fact, she can’t stand dirt at all. But the local Comtesse (Antoinette LaVecchia) has a hankering for truffle cake, and her approval could make Gerard’s name.
"Scarcely a minute passes without some solid-gold sight gag or astounding, throat-stretching song..."
