Highland Park Players Presents A FAIRY TALE ADVENTURE
The Wicked Witch has changed the endings to all the Fairy Tales so that evil will triumph, and she's kidnapped The Fairy to make sure the spell can't be reversed. Only Hansel, Gretel, and Paddy the Gingerbread Man can save the tales for a happily ever after ending! You'll know and love these classic fairy tale characters like Goldilocks, The Ugly Duckling, Snow White, The Pied Piper and several others, but you've never seen them like this before!
"This is a story of a community of fairy tale characters coming together to find their individual happiness" says Director Brad Kisner. "The Wicked Witch and her trio of evil trees remind us that people can be misunderstood, and that showing compassion for others can help everyone."
With a live band rocking original music by local composers Justin Kono, Aaron Kaplan and Michael Goldman, this engaging musical is a hit with young audiences and a fun time for one and all!
