About
Raggedy Ann: The Musical Adventure (also known as Rag Dolly: The Raggedy Ann Musical or Raggedy Ann: The Musical With a Heart) is a musical with book by William Gibson and songs by Joe Raposo. It is based on the children's stories by Johnny Gruelle and the 1977 feature film Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure. The story centers on Marcella, a dying young girl whose toys come to life and take her on a magical adventure to meet the Doll Doctor, in hopes that he can mend her broken heart. Although the show failed on Broadway, it developed a cult following through bootleg recordings.
