Stinky Kids: The Musical

Britt loves making everyone happy, but this girl who never gets in trouble is in a sticky situation. She woke up with a massive wad of gum stuck in her hair! All of Britt's friends are depending on her parents to take them to Captain Happy's Jumpy-Fun-Super-Bouncy Indoor Place, so Britt can't let them down. Britt joins her friends on an adventure across the neighborhood to solve her problem before her parents find out and possibly cancel the trip.
