Captain Louie
''Captain Louie'' is a family musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Anthony Stein adapted from the children's book ''The Trip'' by Ezra Jack Keats. It is the story of a young boy from the inner city whose family moves to a new neighborhood, forcing him to leave his old friends behind. On Halloween night, he escapes into his imagination to cope with the loneliness he feels.
The musical premiered in the late 1980s and then played Off-Broadway in 2005. Since then, it has had a U.S. tour and other productions.
==Background==
''Captain Louie'' had a lengthy genesis. in the 1980s, Meridee Stein, the founder and artistic director of the First All Children's Theater, brought to Schwartz the idea of adapting Keats' book with her husband Anthony. Schwartz wrote the score while working on ''Rags'' (1986). The 35-minute show premiered in a theater on West 65th Street in New York and played for a limited run by the First Children's Theatre.〔Filichia, Peter. ("Oh, Captain!" ) Theatre Mania, May 4, 2005〕 Keats designed the sets and costumes.
In 2005, Stein and Schwartz expanded the musical to 65-minutes after various workshops. It played Off-Broadway at the York Theatre Company in 2005 with Meridee Stein again directing. A world premier recording of this version of the production was made prior to the official opening which, interestingly, does not include subsequent performances of new cast members added after the final workshop. Later in 2005, it played at the Little Shubert Theatre.〔Cooper, Amanda. ("Captain Louie", ) ''Curtain Up'', November 2005〕 In 2006-2007 the musical toured in the U.S. At the MTI Junior Theatre Festival 2009 the songs, "New Kid in The Neighborhood", "Trick or Treat", and "Captain Louie" were performed by Starstruck Performing Arts Center and was directed by Jennifer Jones and choreographed by Elizebeth Casalini. Peter Jones was the musical director.
