The royal renegades are returning to New York! Tickets are now available to fairy tale musical lampoon Disenchanted!, which is coming back to off-Broadway for an open-ended run. The comedy will begin performances on March 16 at Westside Theatre Upstairs; the cast and opening night will be announced shortly.
Featuring a book, music and lyrics by Dennis T. Giacino and directed by Fiely A. Matias, the tuner features your typical “princess posse” in a show that’s anything-but-typical. Snow White, Cinderella, Belle and more toss off the tiaras and get real in a not-for-kids musical where fairy tales will never be the same. Disenchanted premiered at Orlando’s International Fringe Festival in 2011 and has been licensed nationwide since. International productions are to begin this year and a first U.S. national tour will launch in 2016.
The cast of Disenchanted! previously included Michelle Knight as Snow White, Becky Gulsvig as Cinderella, Jen Bechter as Sleeping Beauty, Lulu Picart as Hua Mulan/Pocahontas/Princess Badroulbadour, Alison Burns as Belle/The Little Mermaid/Rapunzel and Soara-Joye Ross as The Princess Who Kissed the Frog.
The production will feature scenic design by Gentry Akens, costume design by Vanessa Leuck, lighting design by Graham Kindred and sound design by Keith Caggiano.
