THE AMERICAN GIRL MUSICAL Synopsis:
Emma and Juniper have been best friends since they were six when their mothers — lifelong best friends themselves — passed down their childhood American Girl Dolls and started a tradition: every year, the girls write a wish on a paper leaf and hang it on the Dream Tree painted on Emma’s bedroom wall. Over the years, through joy and loss (including the death of Emma’s mother), the tree becomes the keeper of their friendship.
Now fourteen, on the eve of high school, Juniper finally tells Emma what she’s been hiding all summer: she’s gotten into a prestigious performing arts school a thousand miles away in Michigan. Emma feels blindsided and abandoned; Juniper feels unsupported and ready to grow up and move on. The fight fractures their friendship and when Juniper refuses to hang her wish on the tree, tearing it in half instead, the bedroom collapses around them.
Emma, Juniper, and Emma’s chaotic older brother Dutch wake up inside Pleasantland; an imaginary world the girls built through years of play, now populated by Samantha, Kirsten, Addy, Kit, Melody, Julie, and Josefina, fully realized as people. The Dream Tree is shedding its leaves rapidly, and the dolls realize that if the last leaf falls, Pleasantland — and they — will cease to exist. Samantha rallies the dolls to help save the girls’ friendship before time runs out.
