Venue: Lakeside Playhouse
Tickets: start at $25 Adult, $15 Youth. Group rates 15+ tickets with advance notice
Times: Wednesday, Friday & Saturday 7:30 pm. Sunday 2:30 pm
Description: Poisoned apples. Glass slippers. Who needs ’em?! Not Snow White and her posse of disenchanted princesses in the hilarious hit musical that’s anything but Grimm. The original storybook heroines are none-too-happy with the way they’ve been portrayed in today’s pop culture so they’ve tossed their tiaras and have come to life to set the record straight. Forget the princesses you think you know – these royal renegades are here to comically belt out the truth. Received an “Outstanding Off-Broadway Musical” nomination (Outer Critics Circle Awards) and a “Best New Off-Broadway Musical” nomination (Off Broadway Alliance).
Cautions: Contains adult language and content. Not recommended for children under 16.
Credits: Book, music and lyrics by Dennis T. Giacino. Presented through special arrangement with Broadway Licensing Global.
