ENCHANTING! is an Original Musical Theatre Production by Cue The Lights Productions written and directed by Liana Del Mastro, with music, lyrics and musical direction by Darnell Thomas, choreography by Tamerra Herres and band direction by Antonio Cocuzzo.
With the popularity of musical theatre shows like Into the Woods and Cinderella and movies and TV shows like Snow White and The Huntsman, Once Upon a Time and Grimm, this production explores the theme of fairy tale in a fun and modern approach.
The Grimm Brothers were responsible for publishing some of the world’s most loved fairytales like, Cinderella, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Hansel & Gretel. Loosely based on these fairytale characters, ENCHANTING! brings together the fun and sensationalism of modern day show business and the old, magical folklore of the best-known fairy tales in a comical and entertaining way.
Synopsis:
“Tonight, on Entertainment Tonight: The fabulous Grimm brothers win 5 Academy Awards! But just how did these brothers get to be the youngest Academy Award winning filmmakers in history?”
Travel from Hollywood to Germany! Follow the story of young and popular filmmakers, Jacob and William Grimm and their clever and creative sister Stephie, who, with their conniving Agent/Aunt, find themselves lost in the middle of the Black Forest, where they stumble upon the small, quaint German town of Fableburg. Fableburg slowly unveils itself as a very strange and mysterious place, which appears to be stuck in the 1800’s. When the brothers decide that this town, with all its interesting characters like Ella, Sleepy Betty, Hans and Gretchen and Little Red, to name a few - would be the perfect place to write their next award-winning movies, the drama unfolds. But all is not as it seems! Beyond the town festivities, Maypole dances and gingerbread houses is a scheming, money-hungry Mayor, who has a secret past and big plans for the fairytale-like town of Fableburg.
