“A must-see! Never a dull moment! For fun, frolic and fantasy, it’s the perfect ticket. With fairytales to share, the amazing ensemble of singers and dancers brings the pictures on the page to life, painting a canvas of rainbows on stage!” Bonnie Previer, The Tolucan Times The fairytale world is spiraling out of control, and only YOU can help Cinderella, Snowhite, Gretel, Hansel, Alice, the Queens of Hearts (3 of them) and M. Goose save the day in this joyous interactive holiday musical. Great costumes, lilting songs (even one where you get to sing-a-long), great humor and fun word play make this Family Theatre Musical a special weekend treat for ages 2 to 102. Great birthday parties, hosted by costumed members of the cast, are available in conjunction with every performance.
