Leonardo! A Wonderful Show About a Terrible Monster

Step into a monstrously fun adventure at Leonardo! A Wonderful Show About a Terrible Monster at the iconic Paramount Theatre! This delightful live performance brings Mo Willems' beloved books to life with hundreds of illustrated paper puppets, furry monster friends, book pages, two-dimensional props, and catchy songs.

Meet Leonardo, a monster who tries so hard to be scary but just can't quite roar right, until he befriends Sam, the ultimate scaredy-cat kid. Their story thickens with even more quirky characters like Kerry and Frankenthaler, exploring themes of friendship over fear in a whimsical, heartwarming tale perfect for families.

Watch the magic unfold on the big screen like a movie or peek at the artists crafting it live below—either way, it's a blast! Running about 45 minutes with some loud sounds and flashing lights, it's ideal for ages 3 and up. Catch it at the historic 1915 Paramount, a dazzling venue with starry ceilings and old-world charm.
