This production is for students ages four to twelve and everyone enrolled is guaranteed a part in the show! Filled with the fun characters and catchy tunes from the 1998 Disney animated film “Mulan”, this is sure to be a crowd pleaser! All your favorite songs are here: the beautiful “Reflection”, the humorous “A Girl Worth Fighting For”, the masculine “I’ll Make A Man Out Of You”” and the rhythmic “Honor To Us All”, plus many more written just for the stage musical!

The Fa family Ancestors take us back to ancient China where Mulan’s big day to meet the village Matchmaker has arrived. Mulan’s father Fa Zhou prays to the family Ancestors to no avail. A nervous Mulan wrecks her betrothal ceremony; dishonoring the family and making herself feel terrible. Fa Zhou is unexpectedly called to the army by Chi Fu, the Emperor’s councilor, having no son to join for him. Against her feeble father’s command, Mulan steals Fa Zhou’s helmet and sword, dresses as a boy, and runs away from home to go in his place. The Ancestors have no choice but to send the misfit dragon Mushu to stop Mulan, who will be killed if she is discovered. As Shan-Yu and the Huns prepare to attack China, Mushu helps Mulan act like a soldier. Mulan introduces herself as “Ping” and joins the Guys – Yao, Ling and Qian Po – to endure Captain Shang’s grueling training. The Chinese Soldiers march to defend a mountain village from Shan-Yu, but arrive too late. While the Soldiers grieve, the Huns attack. Mulan creates noise to trigger an avalanche, which covers the Huns and saves the Soldiers from destruction. Shang honors Ping, only to discover Mulan beneath the helmet. He spares Mulan’s life for saving his but leaves her behind. Suddenly, Shan-Yu and the Huns emerge from the avalanche and race toward the Imperial City. Mulan runs ahead to warn Shang. At the Emperor’s Palace, the Chinese people celebrate the defeat of the Huns. While Shang ignores Mulan, Shan-Yu surprises and kidnaps the Emperor. Mulan convinces Shang and the Guys to dress as Shan-Yu, and the Huns retreat. The Emperor honors Mulan’s bravery, to everyone’s surprise and delight. Back at home, Fa Zhou welcomes his beloved – and honorable – daughter. Shang surprises Mulan with a visit as a suitor instead of a captain. The Ancestors invite Mushu into the Fa family Temple as a full-fledged Guardian.
