Milo Imagines the World

From the book by Matt de la Peña. Illustrated by Christian Robinson.

Published by G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers

Book by Terry Guest. Music by Christian Magby. Lyrics by Christian Albright.

A joint commission by The Rose Theater (Omaha, Nebraska) and Children’s Theatre Company (Minneapolis, Minnesota)

Milo is on a long subway ride with his older sister. To pass the time, he studies the faces around him and makes pictures of their lives. There’s the boy in the suit with the bright white sneakers; Milo imagines him arriving home to a castle with a drawbridge and a butler. But when the boy in the suit gets off on the same stop as Milo – walking the same path, going to the exact same place – Milo realizes that you can’t really know anyone just by looking at them.

Featuring hummable tunes by the team behind The Incredible Book Eating Boy, this world premiere musical will have you smiling widely as we celebrate family, community, and the power of a child’s artwork.
