The play is immensely creative, combining comedic dialogue with emotional moments and the beautiful message that being kind and not judging others is more important than wealth, looks, and being proper. To see these young performers bringing a classic fairy tale to life with such joy and passion is inspiring and heartwarming.

Playing themselves with a minimal set design, the actors utilized an improv style packed with pop culture references to takes us through the big moments in history. I was especially impressed with their use of impersonations, accents, and physical comedy. They kept the show going at a fast clip, and I was feeling out of breath right a long with them. Comedy is hard physical work!
