NYC TADA! Youth Theater Original Musical: Little Moon Theater
TADA! Youth Theater Closes Out Season With A Family Favorite, The Little Moon Theater
Editor’s note: Readers may remember our previous coverage of the Yes Bus, a local theater training acting camp that was accepting applications last year to help kids find their inner actor, make new friends, and learn about the career of acting. The founders were the creators of the theatrical version of Mean Girls, the movie which had starred Lindsey Lohan.

New York, NY – This summer, Drama Desk Award-winning TADA! Youth Theater concludes its 2025-26 season with The Little Moon Theater running July 11–31, 2026. It’s a whimsical and charming musical based on the beloved book by award-winning author Irene Haas.
Follow a troupe of child actors who travel from town to town granting wishes through their performances. Along the way, they encounter a colorful cast of characters including a beloved pet snake, a dog in love with the moon, and a fairy godmother who must grant one last wish before she can retire. Experience the joy of friendship, the magic of wishes coming true in unexpected ways, and the triumph of being accepted for who you are. It’s a treasured picture book come to life!
The Little Moon Theater is perfect for audiences as young as three and runs approximately one hour. With engaging storytelling, catchy music, colorful characters, and budget-friendly tickets, this production brings the joy and imagination of childhood to audiences of every age.
TADA! original mainstage productions are performed by members of the Resident Youth Ensemble of TADA! (RYET), a talented group of young performers ages 9-17. RYET members receive free, year-round, pre-professional training in singing, acting, and dancing. This includes rigorous musical theater instruction while building confidence, discipline, and a sense of community within an inclusive and supportive environment
