‘Disenchanted!’ offers a new look at storybook princesses
Steel River Playhouse show runs through Feb. 20
Steel River Playhouse in Pottstown presents the musical “Disenchanted!” — a comedic show for adults that offers a new look at your favorite storybook princess.
“Poisoned apples. Glass slippers. Who needs ‘em?! Not Snow White and her posse of disenchanted princesses in this hilarious adult musical that’s anything but Grimm,” Steel River Playhouse announced. “The original storybook heroines are none-too-happy with the way they’ve been portrayed in today’s pop culture so they’ve tossed their tiaras and have come to life to set the record straight.”
“Forget the princesses you think you know — these royal renegades are here to comically belt out the truth.”
With a Feb. 4 opening, the show runs through Feb. 20 on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. In addition there will be special Saturday matinee at 2 p.m. on Feb. 12 and 19.
“It’s our pleasure to bring our favorite princesses’ truths to the stage! So, book your babysitters, grab your dates, sisters and girlfriends and buy tickets for this show,” said managing director Rita Pederson.
The cast features Alicia Huppman as Snow White, Liana Henrie as Cinderella, Ren Dougherty as Sleeping Beauty, Alessandra Fanelli as Belle, Taylor Patullo as The Little Mermaid, Nicole Napolitano as Rapunzel, Christina Concilio as Hua Mulan/Pocahontas/ Princess Badroulbador and Kena Butts as The Princess That Kissed The Frog.
Written by Dennis T. Giancino and directed by Alicia Brisbois this show, from Broadway Licensing, contains adult language, themes and content that make this a show not for children.
Tickets are $29 for adults, $24 for Seniors 65 plus, and $17 for students. Tickets may be purchased online via the link at www. steelriver.org, or by calling the box office at 610-9701199.
