The Emperor has so many outfits that he orders all the shops and schools in the kingdom to close so that he’ll have more space to store his wardrobe.
Two brave tailors, Greta and Rebecca, outwit the vain Emperor to save their country from ruin.
Audience members help fool the Emperor’s by inventing an imaginary outfit, then everyone teaches the Emperor a lesson by questioning him at the Royal Press Conference!
Children will enjoy the show’s many colorful characters and silly adaptations of courtly behavior.
