This historical musical takes eight young contemporary Explorer's Club members to the Caribbean where they probe the mystery surrounding Columbus' landing in 1492. Their adventure is narrated in rhyme by the young cabin boys from Columbus' voyage who step out of history to offer clever and educational commentary on current Columbus research. The 2-part/unison songs are arranged in a variety of styles, including calypso, rap, and reggae, that quickly take this interesting tale toward its mystical resolution. Grade Level: 4-9. Perf. Time: Approx. 45 minutes.
