“Really Rosie” opens July 22 at the Dearborn Heights Civic Theatre, located in the Berwyn Center, 26155 Richardson in Dearborn Heights. The show runs for two weekends. “Really Rosie” is a musical with a book and lyrics by Maurice Sendak and music by Carole King. It follows a typical summer day in the life of the Nutshell Kids, a group of several neighborhood friends, including Pierre, Alligator, Johnny, and Chicken Soup from the Nutshell Library books, and Rosie and Kathy from The Sign on Rosie’ s Door. Rosie, the self-proclaimed sassiest kid on her block of Brooklyn’s Avenue P, entertains everyone by directing and starring in an Oscar-winning movie based on the exciting, dramatic, funny (and slightly exaggerated) story of her life.
