Doo-Wop Wed Widing Hood
It’s the 1950s, and Little Red Riding Hood is Bunny Hopping over to Grandmother’s House! On the way, she meets three romantic, though not-so-suave Princes, a Fairy Godmother, an Evil Queen, a Dragon, and a Big Wolf that is Buh-buh-buh-buh-Bad to the Bone! Will the Princess Woo Wed-Wedding… Red Riding Hood? Will the Evil Queen thwart Fairy God Mother? Will Granny ever get her cookies?
