BBS March Performance Schedule:

THE TALE OF THE DRAGON'S TAIL

Final two performances: Sun, Mar 13 at 1:30am & 1:30pm

In The Tale of the Dragon's Tail, a prince and princess meet and fall in love at first sight, but right as they are about to plan their nuptials, two evil and very incompetent wizards cast a spell on the princess that convinces her the only way she can marry the prince is if he brings her the tail of a ferocious dragon.

Follow the prince as he embarks on a wild journey to break the spell, and meets along the way lots of colorful characters, including a funny map seller, an ogre, a mysterious old lady, a giant and eventually the dragon with the tail that can break the spell.

An interactive adventure musical full of action, fun and dance for the whole family.

Tickets are $12.00 (Kids) and $15.00 (Adults), and are now available at www.BlackBoxNYNJ.com or by calling 201-357-2221. Tickets may also be purchased at the venue.
