‘Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day’

A decade or so ago, Judith Viorst turned her children’s picture book classic “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” into a terrific, happy and really very good musical. (Shelly Markham wrote the score.) Now Theatreworks USA is bringing this production to the Queens Theater. The show focuses on the elementary school student of the title and the comical side of his misery-filled moments, from the gum in his hair in the morning to his broken nightlight at bedtime.
