About

Get ready to rock out with a naked mole rat in a musical adventure like no other!

Based on Mo Willems’ beloved book, NAKED MOLE RAT GETS DRESSED: THE ROCK EXPERIENCE is a high-energy, rock ‘n’ roll celebration of self-expression and individuality. Wilbur, a curious naked mole rat, discovers something unexpected—clothes! But in the Tunnel, no one has ever worn them before. As Wilbur dares to be different, he sets off on a hilarious, heartwarming journey that encourages everyone to embrace their own unique style.

With catchy rock songs, lovable characters, and tons of fun, this interactive show will have audiences clapping, dancing, and cheering for Wilbur as he proves that being yourself is the coolest thing of all.

Come sing, dance, and rock your own style—because being different is something to celebrate!
