Junie B. Jones The Musical JR. – a delightful adaptation of four of Barbara Park's best-selling books, brought to life in a delightful adaptation. 

Junie B. Jones The Musical JR. opens with Junie B. introducing herself, Daddy, Mother, Tickle, and Baby Ollie, and excitedly discussing all the potential uses for her new journal ("Top Secret Personal Beeswax"). The first day of first grade begins, and Junie B. walks into the classroom full of School Kids to find her former best friend, Lucille, has abandoned her for two new best friends; Camille and Chenille ("Lucille, Camille, Chenille"). Junie B. is disappointed again after school when another best friend, Grace, chooses to sit next to Bobbi Jean Piper on the bus instead. However, Junie B.'s new friend, Herb, cheers her up by sitting next to her and making plans to get together later in the week ("You Can Be My Friend").

The next day at school, Mr. Scary writes words on the board and asks the class, including Lennie and José, to choose one of them and draw a picture of it, but Junie B. struggles ("Time To Make A Drawing"). After seeing her drawing and asking about what she sees on the board, Mr. Scary and the class decide that Junie B. needs glasses ("You Need Glasses"). Junie B. arrives at school the next day wearing her new glasses, but she hesitates to share them with the class, especially May ("Show And Tell"). To her surprise, the class loves her glasses, even calling her "cool."
