“One Little Wish” is a musical based on a French fairytale (adapted in other quarters as a Cuban or Puerto Rican fairytale) – here set in 18th century Paraguay – concerning a miserly septuagenarian who is tormented by people who steal pears from his beloved pear tree. This situation changes when the old man is visited by St. Peter in disguise and given a chance to put a curse on the pear tree that traps all potential pear-grabbers in the tree’s branches. The crafty curse, however, ends up causing more trouble than it’s worth when Death visits the old man to take him into the afterlife and unwittingly becomes trapped in the tree himself. With Death now up a tree, no one on Earth can die, leaving the world to face devastation and catastrophe – but the day is saved when a mysterious widow with a long-hidden secret rescues Death from the tree and brings purpose to the old man’s life. “One Little Wish” is a charming and touching musical fable about the hidden gems that exist in our lives and the undying hope that allows us to live long enough to enjoy them.
