Really Rosie is a musical with a book and lyrics by Maurice Sendak and music by Carole King.

Based on Sendak's books Chicken Soup with Rice, Pierre, One was Johnny, Alligators All Around, and The Sign Over Rosie's Door, the show, a mainstay of children's theater groups, follows a typical summer day in the life of several neighborhood friends. Self-proclaimed leader Rosie, the sassiest kid on her block of Brooklyn's Avenue P, entertains everyone by directing and starring in an Oscar-winning movie based on the exciting, dramatic, funny (and slightly exaggerated) story of her life.

A 1975 animated television special was directed by Sendak, with King voicing the title character. A soundtrack album is available on the Sony label.

An off-Broadway production, directed and choreographed by Patricia Birch, opened on October 14, 1980, at the Westside Theatre, where it ran for 274 performances.
