Old King Cole Synopsis:

Old King Cole has decided it's time to find a wife, but while the town's women queue up to audition for the role of Queen, he only has eyes for Debbie Dumplin — daughter of the royal cook. The trouble is, Debbie has already given her heart to Florian, the King's own aide.

Meanwhile, Cole's scheming brother Peski and his wife Pariah are plotting to seize the throne, aided by a magical pool that transforms Old King Cole into Young King Cole! Paul Reakes's lively retelling of the classic nursery rhyme is packed with outrageous characters, flamboyant costumes, songs, laughs, and even an exploding birthday cake.
