1-MÚSICA DE ABERTURA

Red: Helloooo guys! Good morning! How are you today? I am so happy to be here, do
you know my name? (Kids might say “Chapeuzinho Vermelho”) Actually, Chapeuzinho
Vermelho is my name in Portuguese. In English, my name is a little longer: It’s Little Red
Riding Hood, right? Very long! Little Red Riding Hood. Little because I'm very short (faz
o sinal de pequeno com polegar e indicador). Red, just like the colour of my cape, which
is my favourite color. Riding (faz movimento com os dedos de “andando”)…. Hood!
(aponta para o capuz). See? So what is my name? (ajuda as crianças a lembrarem o
nome utilizando os sinais para little, red, riding, hood)

Mom (Off voice): Little Red Riding Hood!

Red: Yes, mom?
Mom: Your Grandma is very sick. Could you take a basket with some food to her?
Red: Of course, mom. I would do everything to make her feel better.
Mom: Make sure you’re taking delicious but healthy food, ok?
Red: Ok, mom! I know, I know! (to the audience) Delicious but healthy food! How can I
know… I love candy, cupcakes, icecream… but my grandmother doesn’t like those, she
likes healthy food! Guys, can you help me? I need to choose what food I'm going to take
to Grandma’s house. Can you guys help me? Yay!
(Interacting with the props she has in the basket) What if I take a banana to my grandma’s
house? Limes? She can make lemonade or season a salad. What about these dirty
socks? No, I shouldn’t take them. They smell horrible! No socks! What about an apple?
Do you like apples? How many apples do we have here? (Count the apples or other food
she has). What about an umbrella? Or a book? Or a cat? (efeito sonoro alto de cat pela
coxia) Oh no, no cats! I’m not bringing anything savoury… what if I brought a potato?
So, she can make potato soup or even a mashed potatos! Great idea! It feels like I’m
missing something… oh! A cupcake! Yes!!!
So, I am taking x (quantity) bananas, x limes, x apples, x potatoes, and a delicious
cupcake. OK, I think I'm ready.
Red: Can I go, mom? I have everything she needs!

Mom: Before you go, pay attention to the rules #1: Never stop! Go straight to Grandma’s
house. Don't stop. #2: When you get to the forest, turn left. Don’t go right. Turn left. And
#3: Don't talk to strangers. OK?
Red: Heard, mom! Never stop! Turn left! Don’t talk to strangers! Easy. Bye mom!
Love you!
(Walks into the forest)
Red: Wow, so many beautiful flowers! Look at these flowers. I love them! What are their
colors? Pink! Yellow! Red! Good job! They’re beautiful, right? I will pick them up and give
them to my grandma, she will love them for sure.

(Wolf walks in)

Wolf: Hello little girl.

Red: I’m sorry but I can’t talk to strangers.
Wolf: Ok, I am Mr. Wolf, Big Bad Wolf. What is your name?
Red: Little Red Riding Hood.
Wolf: Nice to meet you! See, now I’m not a stranger anymore.
Red: You still look very strange to me.
Wolf: What is it that you have in this basket?
Red: Step back! I have some fruits, vegetables and a delicious cupcake!
Wolf: Can I have some? I’m hungry!
Red: I’m sorry.. but NO! They are exclusively for my granny.
Wolf: Not even one little piece?
Red: Not even one tiny little piece. Not even a crumb. Bye!
Wolf: Wait! Where are you going?
Red: I’m going to my Grandma’s house.
Wolf: Ummm… I know your grandma… Well… If you're going to Grandma’s house, you
should take the path on the right.
Red: Right? But my mom told me to go left.
Wolf: Believe me. I know this forest like no one else. You should go right. Right is the
shortest way to get to your grandma’s house.
Red: (to the audience) That’s very strange. My mom told me to go left, and Mr. Wolf told
me to go right. What should I do? Should I go left, as my mom said, or should I go right,
as Mr. Wolf said? I don't know what to do. Left, right, left, right…
“Eeny, meeny, miny, moe
Catch a tiger by the toe

2
If he hollers let him go,
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.”
To the right! Here I go!
(Leaves to the right)
Wolf: Hahaha...I tricked her! Her mom was right! The left side is the fastest way to go to
her grandma’s house. So, I will get there before Little Red Riding Hood. Hahaha... I’m
so smart.
(Wolf leaves the stage. Red walks in)
Red: Oh my goodness, I’ve been walking for hours and hours. I’m hungry. What if I ate
something from the basket? My grandma would never know it though. Wait. I locked it
with a lock! Let me get the key… (Notices she’s lost the key. Talks to herself) Come on
Little Red Riding Hood!!! You’re so dumb!!! Fine, now I’m lost and hungry. (Takes a deep
breath) Ok. I wonder if there’re any hunters around here who could help me to open the
lock. (Interacts with the audience) Hey guys, have you seen any hunter around? No? He
is tall, like this, he’s got brown eyes, and a big smile, he is a little bold and very shy. (try
and look for somebody in the audience) Oh! Here he is! The hunter! Can you help me
out here? Come on the stage, where is your axe? Is it your day off? Production, please
bring his stuff, he’s working extra hours today. Everybody, give a round of applause to
the hunter of the story! Yay!! (produção traz um axe e a hunter hat para o voluntário).
Ok, hunter, can you help me open the lock? Wait, wait, wait, hold on, you’re too relaxed,
come on! What is the posture of a real hunter, let me see? (o voluntário faz uma postura
de hunter). Ok, now let me see if you can use the axe. (interação com o voluntário). Ok,
not bad. Now please can you open this lock? 1…2…3… (eles abrem o lock falso). We
did it! Thank you for helping me. Oh! Guys if you ever need somebody to help you open
locks, call this guy! If I ever need to open a lock again, I’ll remember you, ok? Thank you
once again! You can go back to your seat now. (Red grabs some food from the basket
and leaves the stage)
Grandma walks in singing, she is wearing a robe. She is holding a squeeze and
stretching. Sits on a chair.
Grandma: Ouch, my back! Let me sit down here and wait for my granddaughter. She is
bringing some food to me, my sweet little girl. (Grandma talks to the audience and
interacts with them. Meanwhile, Wolf shows up behind her. Kids may yell to tell grandma
the wolf is in the room. Wolf hides behind the chair every time grandma looks back.)
What? Is there anybody behind me? (Looks back. Wolf hides.) Where? There’s nobody
here. (Repetition and comedy timing. Three times. Last time Wolf shows up in front of
her and she finally sees him, she gets scared.)
Wolf: Hello, grandmother!
Grandma: OMG, a wolf! What should I do?! Help!
Wolf: There’s nothing you can do. I’m gonna eat you up!
Grandma: (pretending and begging) Would you really do anything cruel to a poor and
defenseless lady?
Wolf: Oh, yeah!

Grandma: You would never!!! YÁA! (Takes the robe off as a ninja. She is wearing a judo
outfit and fights him.)
Wolf: I’m just kiddi… Ugh oh!
2-MÚSICA FIGHTING THE WOLF
Song – Fighting the Wolf (Mash-up: Rocky Balboa theme song + ballet excerpt +
back to Rocky Balboa theme song + tiktok famous choreo trend + back to Rocky
Balboa theme song + ring bells – KO)

Grandma celebrates the winning. Wolf is on the floor. She gets distracted, and Wolf gets
up and throws her into the closet (cardboard box) and locks it up with a locker and closes
her mouth with masking tape, she falls asleep – or he strikes her with his bad breath and
she faints. Wolf puts grandma’s robe on and cap and sits on the chair disguised as the
grandma. Red shows up.
Red: Hi, grandma! Phew! I finally arrived here. How are you doing?
Wolf: Hello my grand… (coughs and clears his voice) granddaughter. Come closer so I
can see you better.
Red: Grandma. What big ears you have!
Wolf: All the better to hear you with, my dear.
Red: Grandma, what big eyes you have!
Wolf: All the better to see you with, my dear.
Red: Grandma, what big teeth you have!
Wolf: All the better to eat… the cupcake you have in your basket.
Red: You? Eating a cupcake? Unbelievable. Un-be-lie-va-ble!
Grandma: (Wakes up in the closet/box) CUPCAKE??? IN MY HOUSE??? NEVER! Wait!
How did I end up in here? Somebody, help me, please! Open this closet!
As grandma yells, Wolf hides.
Red: I know this voice! Grandma? Are you in the closet? But aren’t you in bed? I’m
confused.
Grandma: I am here in the closet!
Red: Grandma! It’s locked. Locked with a lock. (Triangula com a plateia) There is a L-O-
C-K here! It would be wonderful to have somebooooody (staring at the hunter in the
audience) to help me to open the L-O-C-K once again… (Comedy timing.) Could you
help me again? Please!
Brings hunter back to the scene and they reproduce the same moves to open the lock.
As the closet door opens, grandma runs out of the closet and steps into the hunter’s
arms.
Grandma: (Falls in love with the hunter) Oh, my goodness. Do you have a map? I am
getting lost in your eyes. (Comedy)

Red: Grandma!
Grandma: Is your name Google? Because you have everything I’ve been searching for.
Red: Grandma! How embarrassing!
Grandma: YOLO, dear! You only live once!
Red: Oh no… Have some manners, grandma! What were you doing in the closet? What
happened?
Grandma: I’m sorry. I have no idea.
Wolf shows up surrendering with their hands up.
Wolf: It was me! Hi! I’m the problem, it’s me! (Taylor Swift song) I’m sorry! I just did all of
this because I wanted to eat the cupcakes Little Red Riding Hood was carrying in the
basket.
Grandma: Cupcake?? Have you brought a cupcake to him, I mean, to me?! Would you
eat the cupcake, wolf? And what about you, hunter? (Scolds everybody in the scene.
Humor. “A la Dona Hermínia, dando bronca em todos”.) Nobody eats any junk food in
my house! That is not healthy! Sugar is bad, bad bad! You know what?! Let us all
exercise and burn some calories! You, granddaughter, must exercise to be strong
enough to protect yourself. You, hunter, must exercise to continue breaking the locks life
brings you. And you, mister wolf, must exercise because… well… because it’s good for
health. 5, 6, 7, 8 … Kill music, DJ!
3-MÚSICA MANIAC
They dance as in a Zumba class. Grandma leads the moves, always counting from 1 to
8. This is the moment to have fun with the participant in the scene, or even everybody
from the audience.
Grandma: Stretch your left arm… now your right arm… Your head to the right… your
head to the left… head, shoulders, knees and toes… now it’s time to do some push-
ups… (After push-ups, grandma gets dizzy and falls.)
Grandma: And then you are fi….ne! (She passes out. Wolf holds her and puts her back
up.) Sorry. It’s my blood pressure.
Red and Wolf: Oh my goodness, grandma. Breathe! You need to breathe! (They take
three deep breaths with her.) Inhale… Exhale… And inhale… exhale… and inhale…
ex….
4-FART – SOUND EFFECT
Grandma: (Embarrassed. Dramatic pause.) Oh! How could you? (to the hunter) I knew
you couldn’t be perfect, you had to have faults… Go back to your place! Go go go …
(Clap your hands for the hunter) Hey, Mr. Wolf, pull my finger… pull my finger… (Wolf
pulls her finger. She farts intentionally.) HAHAHA It’s the whey protein! (grandma and
wolf leave the stage).
Red: Sorry for that guys! Thank you all for being here today! See you next time, bye!!!
