Last Stop on Market Street is a hip-hoppin’, heart-thumpin’, toe-tappin’ musical joy ride about finding beauty in everyday city life based on the multi award-winning picture book of the same name!

Young CJ is reluctantly staying with his Nana, in a world considerably different from the one he’s used to. Guided by his veritable force-of-nature Nana, CJ travels a little closer to his roots and sees that things are not always what they seem.
Recommended for kids 4+ but welcomes children of all ages.

“Like a kid’s version of ‘In the Heights’! Bursts with life and warmth. Worth an hour of anyone’s time!”
