Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Musical
Book by Kevin del Avila.
Music & Lyrics by Michael Mahler and Alan Schmuckler.
Based on the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” Book Series by Jeff Kinney and the 20th Century Fox Films.
Additional Orchestrations by Christopher Jahnke. Originally commissioned and produced by The Children’s Theatre Company Minneapolis, Minnesota.
See Jeff Kinney’s popular character take center stage as Greg’s cartoon diary (or is it a journal?) becomes a hilarious and heartfelt musical. School can be tough. Really tough. Being the middle child can be even tougher. As Greg embarks on a quest to become popular, we meet his quirky classmates Patty, Chirag and Fregley among many others. Standing beside him through all of this is Greg’s best friend Rowley. Will Greg’s plans to become popular lead him to sacrifice his one true friend? Can anyone avoid the dreaded Cheese Touch? Grab a hall pass and don’t be late for this hilarious musical adventure!
Diary of a Wimpy Kid is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing Global.

This was my first show at The Rose Theater with my 3 year old and we both loved it. The audience participation was amazing. The staff is great. The actors were captivating. The space is beautiful. I’m glad we have annual passes!
