Delightfully unorthodox.”—NY Times “Delightful and funny with a breezy, upbeat score lively book and lyrics. Pete’s rule: Never refuse a hug. The musical deserves a big one.”—Huffington Post “Nonstop action guaranteed to make kids laugh”—Mommy Poppins When Pete the Cat gets caught rocking out after bedtime, the cat-catcher sends him to live with the Biddle family to learn some manners—and boy, are they square!
