The opening night of musical performance for children “Teremok” took place in State Theatre of Musical comedy on 20th of October 2007. This fairy-tale that was written by wonderful children’s author Samuil Marshak is well-known in Russia. The plot is very simple: in the field stands “Teremok”. Little-Mouse, Croaking-Frog, Golden-Cockerel and Hedgehog settle in one by one.
All of them are living peacefully together. Suddenly Wolf, Bear and Fox appear: they have a plan to occupy Teremok, to taste some cockerel’s flesh and break up peaceful inhabitants. Two grandfathers are in fairy-tale: one of them is kind, another one – evil. They are story-tellers, so one of them helps the good characters, another one - invaders. In the play roles of forest animals are performed by young actors of the choir. Music of composer Alexander Kulygin transforms events of popular fairy-tale into the real musical for children with singing and dancing.
