Ivy is a quiet 7-year-old who loves books – especially ones about magical spells, as she aspires to be a witch when she grows up.  Ivy is new to Pancake Court and inadvertently meets Bean, the outgoing neighbor girl who loves to put her ideas into action in hopes that the whole world will know who she is.  When the two of them get together, there’s plotting, scheming and laughter at every turn.  Join the mischievous second-grade heroines of The New York Times best-selling series as they hatch their exploits onstage in this lively musical.  They’ve got worms to catch, spells to cast, and lessons to learn about the challenges and joys of family, friendship and love.
