RAPUNZEL! RAPUNZEL! A VERY HAIRY FAIRY TALE

Visit an enchanted fairy tale land with dragons, a handsome Prince, an evil would-be Queen, a really great hair stylist, and that very famous Princess with the long, long, long hair!

On the edge of glory, the evil Lady Za Za determines to rule the kingdom by keeping the beautiful Princess Rapunzel trapped in a tower in the deep, dark, dank, dismal, dreary forest.

It’ll be up to brave Sir Roderick and his equally brave hair-stylist friend Edgar (who is on a quest to find the perfect head of hair) to rescue Princess Rapunzel and restore the kingdom - with the help of a slightly neurotic Gypsy Woman (isn't there one in every fairy tale?) and a tired, yet witty, old dragon named Socrates - who has lost his poof!

In this hilarious musical adventure, Princess Rapunzel may indeed find a way to escape the tower and take her rightful place as the ruler of the kingdom - she will surely find a way into your heart! Fun for the whole family with a score that ranges in style from pop to country!

Hold on to your hair and prepare for a brand new magical musical re-telling of the classic fairy tale!

“Rapunzel! Rapunzel! A Very Hairy Fairy Tale” is a colorful and genially zany musical that will delight the kids and charm the parents as well. With an appealing pop-rock score by Janet Yates Vogt and Mark Friedman, this musical adaptation of the Rapunzel fairy tale is full of lighthearted hilarity, keeping the proceedings broad and frolicsome. Children will enjoy the musical’s gentle merriment. The inside jokes directed at theater and fairy tales, meanwhile, will likely beguile the adults. Winning! A perfect storybook atmosphere.”

"Just saw this show yesterday at Casa Manana Theatre. First time I took my daughter to a play or musical and she absolutely adored it. She can't wait to come back to see another. I thoroughly enjoyed it, too! Very good musical for kids - she kept glued to the stage the whole time and laughed and clapped throughout!"
