Hi-yah! Productions “Fantastic Mr. Fox” CD Project

A new project for Threadhead Records!  Hi-yah! Productions is bringing back their critically acclaimed adaptation of Roald Dahl’s children’s book Fantastic Mr. Fox to the Contemporary Arts Center on November 12, 2010.  In this unique puppet-theatre production, the audience literally climbs into the picture frame of an enormous story-book and through the 12 chapters/ sets of this classic tale. Each of the 12 full-scale sets is interconnected by “underground” tunnels, all sculpted from recycled cardboard boxes. The installation takes up the entire 3rd floor of the Contemporary Arts Center and features over 40 puppets. The show stars Johnny Vidacovich, as Fantastic Mr. Fox, Lee Zurik as Flea Zurik (an investigative reporter for Fox News) and costume design by local musician, Theresa Andersson.

With the help of Threadhead Records, Hi-Yah! Productions intends to release a CD of the original songs written for the production.  THR proudly welcomes Hi-Yah! Productions to the Threadhead family!
