Meet the children’s book character, ‘Leonardo, the Terrible Monster’

HOUSTON – He’s green.

He’s terrible.

But also lovable.

He tries to be scary, but he just...isn’t.

Based on author Mo Willems’ picture book, you can see Leonardo’s story brought to life through hundreds of illustrated paper puppets, two-dimensional props, furry monster puppets, and songs on stage this weekend.

See how it all unfolds.
