Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/07/2010 (5568 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
In this goofy musical send-up of female-friendly fairy tales, four fair damsels from Edmonton explore what happens to the princess after she and her prince walk into the sunset.
Using musical comedy, colourful ball gowns and a few film slides, they find that the land of happily-ever-after isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Snow White finds herself widowed and decides to switch romantic teams. Cinderella can’t get her baby to stop crying. And Sleeping Beauty is deathly afraid of her new husband’s big love muscle.
“Doesn’t it occur to you it looks like the witch’s arm handing Snow White the apple?”
Er, OK, if you say so.
The musical component is undistinguished — one of the four can barely carry a tune — and the rest of this 50-minute effort is the product of obviously inexperienced scripting. The Disney empire will survive the blow to its dignity.
— Morley Walker
From the official Fringe Festival guide:
Which one of these is not like the others: erectile dysfunction, postpartum depression, a dark closet or princesses?
Happily Ever After? is a musical comedy that will make you question fairy tale endings.
