Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati’s holiday season is roaring to life with our zoo-per fun sequel to Fiona: The Musical with It’s Fritz!
Everyone knows Fiona the hippo, but her brother Fritz is still figuring out who he wants to be. With a world-famous sister, Fritz wonders if there’s any spotlight left for him.



When Fritz sets out to discover what makes him special, the journey isn’t always smooth, but with help from the zoo’s colorful cast of animals, he learns that standing out starts by listening, learning, and leaning on those who believe in you. Full of humor, heart, and a few muddy puddles, It’s Fritz! is a joyful story about family, courage, and creating your own splash.
This feel good, family-friendly musical is designed for all ages—whether you’re bringing kids, grandparents, or friends, everyone will find something to love. Playing now–December 31, it’s the perfect way to celebrate the holiday season together.
With a book by Zina Camblin and music & lyrics by David Kisor, this brand-new score will leave audiences smiling. It’s Fritz! promises a hippo-sized holiday memory you won’t forget.
Tickets start at $22. Performance times vary by date. Visit www.ensemblecincinnati.org or call the box office at (513) 421-3555 for tickets.
