ABOUT THE SHOW
In this musical fairy tale set at Heartsville High, the school's magical matchmaker, Zanna, is as determined as ever to make sure everyone in town is happily paired up. On the Heartsville High School campus, same-sex pairings are the norm and intolerance for heterosexuals is rampant; chess champs trump football quarterbacks in popularity and sex appeal, and a school musical about straights in the military sparks major small town controversy.

Outer Critics Circle Nomination-Outstanding Off-Broadway Musical
Lucille Lortel-Best Musical Award
