The Story Dear Edwina, Jr. is a heartwarming musical about the joys of growing up, from the creators of Junie B. Jones, The Musical, Zina Goldrich and Marcy Heisler. The show's heroine, Edwina Spoonapple, is an advice-giver extraordinaire, like a spunky, singing version of Dear Abby. Told through a show-within-a-show format, Edwina and her friends share wisdom on everything from trying new foods to making new friends through clever, catchy and poignant songs. It's "Glee" for kids, but adults will love it just as much as the children they bring!
