An excellent show for the beginner actor, 39 parts available.The entire world of fairy tales gets utterly mixed up! The Grimm brothers are writing their stories late into the night when suddenly a terrible gust of wind flings open the door and blows the pages everywhere! Later that night, the stories begin to intermingle in Wilhelm’s dreams. Cinderella’s desperately trying to get to the royal ball, but somehow she’s ends up at Rapunzel’s tower. As her Fairy Godmother mistakenly sends her on to the Seven Dwarfs’ cottage and Snow White’s castle, Cinderella meets loads of new friends — dwarfs, bears, pigs, and witches! — all of whom are just as lost and out of place as she is! When they all finally make their way to the ball, Cinderella finally meets her prince, and they all share a giant fairy tale party “happily” thereafter!All who audition are in the cast and have lines! The first day is auditions and read thru of the script.
