Looking for big laughs and big adventure in a kingdom far, far away? Then look no further than this hysterical play! Both timely and timeless, this comedy follows the valiant quest of the bumbling but good-hearted Prince Charmless as he attempts with all his might to save Princess Rose form the Wicked Faerie and her sleep induced curse. Along the way, Prince Charmless meets and befriends an adventurous Puss 'N" Boots, a snarling Snow White, the helpful headless Horseman and a very lonely Beast. In the ever entertaining tradition of the Broadway musicals, Into the Woods, Shrek and Beauty and the Beast, this fairy tale turns upside down and the result is a lively, flat-out funny show with lots of great roles for the entire acting ensemble.
