The musical follows 8-year-old Lily Polkadot who just moved to a "Squares Only" small town, where as the first Polkadot in an all Square school, she faces an almost impossible task of gaining acceptance from her peers. Inspired by the events of The Little Rock 9, Polkadots: The Cool Kids Musical serves as a colorful history lesson for children, reminding them that our individual differences make us awesome, not outcasts.
