A mysterious bunny with suspiciously sharp fangs has Chester the cat and Harold the dog on the case. Based on the beloved “Bunnicula” books, this playful musical mixes mystery, adventure and laughs with plenty of ghostly vegetables.
Who's playing
This Rose Theater production is based on the “Bunnicula” book series by James and Deborah Howe, with book by Charles Busch, music by Sam Davis, and lyrics by Mark Waldrop. The story follows Chester the cat and Harold the dog as they try to figure out whether the mysterious new rabbit in the house is really a vampire.
What to expect
Expect a kid-friendly musical that blends spooky-season atmosphere with comic sleuthing rather than real scares. The show turns the books’ central mystery into a lively stage adventure, complete with suspicious fangs, nighttime prowling, and vegetables drained ghostly white.
Why go
“Bunnicula” is a strong pick for families looking for a familiar story with a mix of mystery, music, and humor in downtown Omaha. At The Rose Theater, the strange case of one very unusual bunny becomes an accessible theater outing built around curiosity, imagination, and laughs.
