What is Bigger and better about?

Vi the Giantess adores tiny things, especially her enormous collection of thimbles. Then Jack climbs up the beanstalk and lands in her kitchen. At first, Vi is delighted to meet the little stranger, but Jack has come to steal her husband’s treasured possessions. As his cheeky plan unfolds, Vi must decide whether to trust her instincts or stand up to the troublesome intruder. This lively, musical retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk turns the familiar fairy tale upside down.
