GRIMMZ FAIRY TALES Comes to NJPAC

New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) presents Grimmz Fairy Tales on Thursday, November 30, 2023 at 7:00 p.m.

Grimmz Fairy Tales puts the rap in Rapunzel, leaves Cinderella hip-hoppin' in new shoes, gets Snow White slammin' and Hansel and Gretel jammin'.

This reimagining of classic fairy tales follows Jay and Will Grimmz, the hip-hop, fable, dance-pop sensation brothers. Their modern-day spin on the Grimm Brothers' 19th-century collection of popular folklore features hits such as "Snow White and the Seven Shawties," "Rapunzel: Let Down Your Hair," "Hansel & Gretel: Out in the Streets," and their first featured "granny-winning" song, "Cinderella Remix," in their "hip hop revelation for the younger generation. We can't wait for you to see this Drama League Award nominated production "live" here at The Gateway.

Jay and Will Grimmz, the hip-hop fable story dance-pop sensation, have come back home to the city where they grew up to give a concert. They're known not just for their sounds, but for their powerful storytelling, an inventive remix of familiar classics. The brothers put a modern spin on valuable life lessons in Snow White and the Seven Shawties, Down with Rapunzel, Hanzel & Gretel: Lost in the Hood, and their featured first Granny-winning song, Break, Cinderella, Break! Pay your bling, hear them sing, and get ready to drop the mic in this unforgettable theatrical experience.
