Based on the DreamWorks Animation hit, How to Train Your Dragon JR. brings fire-breathing action, epic adventure and big laughs to the stage.

Hiccup is a young Viking who defies tradition and befriends one of his deadliest foes – a ferocious dragon he calls Toothless. Together, the unlikely heroes fight against the odds to save both their worlds in this wonderful theatrical adaptation.

How to Train Your Dragon JR. was created through the DreamWorks Theatricals/MTI Emerging Writers Program, a collaboration between DreamWorks Theatricals, Music Theatre International, and NBC Universal.
