The Ever After Musical (2-Week Production) – Frisco – Egelston Akers Black Box Theatre at Willow Bend Center of the Arts

Is Ever After really as happy as everyone expected?  In a hilarious parody of daytime TV, the host wonders if time truly heals all wounds.  He/She invites Cinderella and her middle-aged ’beauty-impaired’ stepsisters to reconcile with each other after being estranged for 20 years.  What about Snow White and the Evil Queen?  This hysterical fractured fairy tale has it all:  a trash-talking clairvoyant mirror, an unfortunate prince who is turning slowly back into a frog, and even Jiminy Cricket — now an occupational therapist and author of the book “My Life as Your Conscience.”

The musical is punctuated by questions from obnoxious studio audience members and ridiculously funny infomercials for fairy tale related products, such as the Practical Princess Crown which doubles as a purse and makeup case.  Get ready for some knee-slapping and hand-clapping with great foot-tapping songs like ’Beauty Impaired’ and ’Dainty Do-Gooder’!
