Of course, we all know the premise of Judith Viorst’s 1972 children’s classic Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day —and if not, it’s right there in the title. Alexander wakes up one morning to gum in his hair. From there it’s downhill. Tripping and falling. Cavities. A bit of older brother bullying from Nick and Anthony. Lima beans. A really bad duet followed by rejection from his best friend, Paul. And, ugly, awful white shoes sold by a skeezy salesman. But all that befalls Alexander provides belly laughs of the best kind for the audience.
