Set must be flexible enough to handle smooth transitions between the large number of interior and exterior locations.
In 1872, on a gentleman's wager, Phileas Fogg and his French manservant Passepartout attempt to traverse the globe in just eighty days. The two encounter strange new countries, colorful (and at times hostile) characters, and even love. A faithful, swift adaptation of Jules Verne's classic adventure novel.
"There sure are plenty of laughs in this highly inventive, thoroughly enjoyable and family-friendly little show."
