This brand new live musical theatre production by Koba Entertainment will lead audiences through the most heroic expedition that Franklin and his friends, Bear, Snail, Beaver, Fox, and Rabbit have ever embarked on.

In this live musical quest, Franklin will face his greatest challenge when he tries to reclaim his sister Harriet’s stolen golden necklace. Franklin and his friends must reveal their noble skills to prove that they are worthy of the ultimate title: Knighthood. On this courageous crusade, the gang must triumph against a series of unexpected obstacles in order to win the treasured Silver Shield, including a fire-breathing dragon, two riddle-loving gargoyles, and a wild-winged beast!

Franklin’s compelling story about acceptance, compassion and friendship set before original songs and an extraordinary scenic background will have the whole family on their feet and cheering for the gang to prevail against all odds. With teamwork and humility, they all come together to save the day!
