<DIV>Stanley Lambchop is your ordinary, every day, run-of-the-mill
ten-year-old: normal mom and dad, normal little brother, normal
life. That's just the problem...for Stanley, life is too normal. He
wants to travel the world, do something amazing, something no one's
ever seen before. Careful what you wish for, Stanley!<BR><BR>One
night, the bulletin board on the wall above Stanley's bed comes
loose and falls - right on top of Stanley! The next morning, Stanley
Lambchop wakes up flat. Not just a little flat...really, REALLY
flat! I n a whirlwind musical travelogue, Stanley - the ultimate
exchange student - scours the globe for a solution to his unusual
problem. He's stamped, posted and cancelled from Hollywood to France
to Honolulu and beyond. And whether he's thwarting a robbery at the
Louvre Museum in Paris, or 'hanging ten' off the coast of Hawaii,
Stanley is closing in on his goal of being a three-dimensional boy
once more.<BR><BR><!--"''"--></DIV></FONT>

<P>The curtain opens and the audience is introduced to the LAMBCHOP
FAMILY, including our title character, STANLEY ("Meet the
Lambchops"). Stanley Lambchop is a ten-year-old boy who wishes to do
amazing things no one has ever seen before. He wants to have
adventures and be a hero, and Stanley wants to begin his adventures
as soon as possible. </P>
<P>The scene changes and the audience sees Stanley, his little
brother, ARTHUR, and the rest of their SLUMBER PARTY GUESTS getting
tucked in for the night by MR. and MRS. LAMBCHOP ("Lambchop
Lullaby"). Stanley begins to think about the things he would do if
he really could wish upon a star ("I Wish I Were"). All of a sudden
a star falls from the sky. Stanley, Arthur and the slumber party
guests watch in awe and then head back to their sleeping bags. As
Stanley starts to fall asleep, the bulletin board hanging over his
bed comes to life. The BULLETIN BOARD lets Stanley know his wish may
just come true, but with a twist.</P>
<P>In the morning, Stanley's family and friends discover that
Stanley has been flattened by the bulletin board, which fell on him
in the middle of the night. Even though Stanley seems okay, Mr. and
Mrs. Lambchop are quite worried ("My Child Is Flat"). Mrs. Lambchop
takes Stanley to see DOCTOR DAN who isn't able to find anything
wrong with him, except for the fact that he's flat. Stanley is
afraid to go back to school, but Mr. and Mrs. Lambchop convince him
that everything is going to be just fine ("The Funny Side").</P>
<P>After Stanley and his parents leave, Arthur rushes on, convinced
that he is going to be in big trouble. The COOL KIDS talked Arthur
into making Stanley into a kite, and Arthur left him stuck in a
tree. However, being stuck in a tree gives Stanley time to think
about his new life as a flat person ("In A Tree"), until the letter
carrier, MRS. CARTERO, realizes being flat could lead Stanley on an
amazing adventure through the mail! He could put himself in an
envelope and travel the world - a human letter ("Travelin' Through
the Mail")! This new thought thrills Stanley, and with the blessing
of his family, Stanley starts his adventures by visiting his friend
SAMANTHA in Los Angeles. </P>
<P>Before Stanley can find Samantha, he meets a HOLLYWOOD AGENT who
decides that with a little more life experience, Stanley could be a
star ("Talent"). The Hollywood Agent encourages Stanley to visit his
old friend in Paris, an idea that both excites and scares Stanley.
Stanley finally runs into Samantha, who encourages him to go to
Paris and have the adventures he's always wanted. With newfound
courage, Stanley makes the trip across the ocean. While Stanley is
traveling in the mail, Arthur sends him a letter ("Arthur's Letter")
letting him know how much he misses him. Stanley arrives in Paris
and heads straight to the Louvre, as directed by the Hollywood
Agent. Stanley meets two paintings, the MONA LISA and a portrait of
NAPOLEON. Mona Lisa and Napoleon convince Stanley to help them catch
the SNEAK THIEF, and after putting on a disguise, Stanley is able to
trick and capture the thief.</P>
<P>As Stanley is being congratulated, he receives another letter
from his Mom and Dad ("Mom and Dad's Letter"). Stanley realizes he
really misses his family, but before he gets too sad and lonely, he
gets a call from the Hollywood Agent. Stanley has been cast in a
movie shoot in Honolulu, Hawaii! Stanley heads straight to Hawaii
and films his big scene ("Surfin' The Mail"). After the film shoot,
the Hollywood Agent approaches Stanley with lots and lots of new job
opportunities, but Stanley realizes the best kind of adventure is
any adventure you share with the family you love. The Hollywood
Agent sends Stanley back home. </P>
<P>Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Lambchop, and Arthur are missing Stanley
terribly when Mrs. Cartero brings them a giant letter. They open the
letter to find Stanley and greet him with hugs. And surprise!
Stanley's not flat anymore! Now that Stanley and his whole family
are reunited, they sing a big finale ("Travelin' Through the Mail -
Finale").
