The Mr. Men Musical (1985) - Free Audiobook

The Mr. Men Musical was a live stage musical (pantomime) in 1985 and had a story line based on the books and characters of Roger Hargreaves but with its very own credited writers and directors. The vinyl and cassette cover, "Party Time With Mr. Men" specifically states "As Seen On T.V." which implies the Musical has been recorded and broadcasted but no such footage or further proof is to be found. The statement could also simply refer to the Mr. Men as characters themselves; known from TV. Plot: Mr. Grumpy is very grumpy because Mr. Happy is arranging a magnificent party for all the other Mr. Men and Little Misses. Zenda, a thoroughly modern witch in the pay of Dr. Trotter is out to capture a new species for Dr. Trotter's Travelling Zoo. Mr. Happy is caught and trapped! The Mr. Men, the Little Misses, Farmer Fields and of course, Walter the Worm all plan his rescue. They succeed, Zenda repents her misdeeds and all ends in the most wonderful party ever!
