Over The Moon: A Musical Play Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Master storyteller and bestselling author Jodi Picoult teams up with Jake van Leer and Ellen Wilber to bring you an original musical, sure to breathe life into any middle-school and high school drama curriculum. Part Shakespearean comedy and part Fractured Fairy Tales, Over the Moon is all fun. Narrated by a cross-dressing Hairy Godmother (no, that’s not a typo), the story begins when Luna (the moon) descends to a small town on earth disguised as a boy, and sets out to help humans find love. But Luna herself falls in love with Prince Jack... who’s in love with Felicity... who has fallen for Luna. On the way to happily ever after are a steady stream of clever puns and topical jokes about American Idol, universal health care, Bernie Madoff, and just about every fairy tale creature you’ve ever heard of! With nineteen original hum-worthy songs and plenty of spots to tailor the play to any city or town, Over the Moon is the perfect choice for every school looking to perform an energetic show that’s fresh, funny, and timeless.

Didn't realize this was written in a play form when I ordered it. I absolutely loved this story though! One of my favorites. I hope that a school or somewhere local to me decides to perform this play. I would definitely go see it.
I could just imagine how much fun this musical would be to see preformed by the local school. It hits fairy tales with female empowerment through an athletic princess who is trying to follow "The Rules" to catch her prince and guest appearances from all of your favorite Mother Goose characters. There are some great double entredres that might fly over the heads of younger kids, but will keep the adults in their seats.The commentary on the current social situation and pointed jabs at politics will keep everyone on their toes waiting to hear the next almost groan worthy joke, well, the adults might groan, but the kids will be rolling in the aisles.
Over The Moon: A Musical Play.Please note the "Musical Play." It's a hilarious play/musical, especially when put on by high schoolers. For those that purchased this thinking it was a book, and are giving it bad reviews,good job reading the title. But if you're looking for something fun for a thesbian troupe, or high school play, this is it!!!!
Jodi Piccoult has presented her book in an unusual way. It is clever and visual, but not one of my favorite books by her.I can visualize my grand-daughters participating in a "play" and really having fun doing so.I'm not sure whether I will stay with it to the end, or not.
I was disappointed - the description for this Jodi Picoult "book" was deceptive. Even if it is a good story - it should have been CLEARLY indicated that it is a musical - ie in PLAY format not a book. NOT really worth the cost - as I can get a full fledged novel of hers for the same price. BTW - I have every other novel she has written. Will not pre-order again unless descriptions are extremely clear as to what I will be receiving.
