These fairy tale princesses have had enough. The musical Disenchanted! returns in a digitally revived London production beginning April 9 with performances slated through April 11 via via Stream.Theatre.
Heading the cast are several Six stars, including Jodie Steele as Snow White, Sophie Isaacs as Cinderella, Grace Mouat as Pocahontas, and Millie O’Connell as The Little Mermaid plus Rent's Shanay Holmes as The Princess Who Kissed The Frog. Tom Jackson Greaves directs.
The company also includes fellow Six star Courtney Bowman (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie), Natalie Chua (Priscilla Queen of the Desert), Allie Daniel (Rent), Aisha Jawando (Tina—The Tina Turner Musical), and Jenny O’Leary (Heathers).
Disenchanted!, which brings together a band of not-so-merry princesses, keen to rewrite their tales, has a book, music, and lyrics by Dennis T. Giacino. The musical received nominations for Outstanding Off-Broadway Musical (Outer Critics Circle Awards) and Best New Off-Broadway Musical (Off Broadway Alliance).
On the other side of the pond, a recent U.S. streaming presentation featured Celia Rose Gooding, Diana DeGarmo, Alysha Umphress, and more. The musical played Off-Broadway's Westside Theatre in 2015 after a run the previous year at Theatre at St. Clement's.
