This musical follows the struggles of Zack, a 9-year-old boy with a big head of red hair, who yearns for a normal home. Jan, his widowed and single mother, runs a boarding house full of eccentric characters like Mrs. Belmont, a cranky older woman who speaks in riddles and keeps menacing Zack with a hair brush; Mr. Grumbine, the hermit who won t leave his room and speaks with game show buzzers; and best friends, Vince and Carl, who argue about everything. When Jan is confronted with a financial crisis that may force them to give up the house and move to Florida, Zack begins to see things differently. He is determined to save the day, and even though his solution backfires, he finds that his dream of home was closer than he thought.
