ISABELLE AND THE PRETTY-UGLY SPELL is the tale of Isabelle, a lovable, but scatterbrained fairy godmother who goofs while casting a spell to help the Princess find true love and now has only three days to make things right. Izzy's clock-ticking, cliff-hanging, nail-biting journey leads the audience through hilarious high jinx to heart-warming moments.
Hummable songs, quirky characters, and an endearing story will delight "children of all ages" and make this musical ideal family entertainment. "A nearly perfect pastry of a show..." The New York Times.
