Peanut Butter & Cupcake! (the musical)
DIRECTOR & CHOREOGRAPHER
Developmental workshop at NYFA and world premiere at Interlakes Theatre (Meredith, NH)
Terry Border’s beloved children’s book series comes to life in an all-new musical. Performable by kids for kids, the show tells the tale of Peanut Butter as he sets out to find a new best friend. Things get a little sticky in Foodville when Peanut Butter’s mission to find a perfect match keeps falling flat. An expanded ending to the story proves that sometimes the things that make us go best together are our differences - we just have to be willing to explore them.

“Brandon’s directorial talent was evident from the moment he read the first draft of the script, making suggestions that improved the show and gave more room for actors to showcase their talents. His staging, choreography, and character work with the cast brought the musical to life in a bolder and more vivid way than I’d ever imagined.”
