DISENCHANTED! The Musical Has its Regional Premiere At Creative Cauldron

Launching its first production of the 2019-2020 season, Creative Cauldron presents the regional premiere of the Off-Broadway sellout smash hit Disenchanted! Set in the present-day, a posse of storybook princesses, led by Snow White, ditch the damsels-in-distress diatribe and tell some hilarious truths about those so-called "happily-ever-after" endings. Serving up the irresistible songs and wit of playwright, composer, and lyricist Dennis T. Giacino is the critically acclaimed team of director Matt Conner, musical director Elisa Rosman, Scenic and Costume Designer Margie Jervis, and Lighting Designer Lynn Joslin. The production will run through October 27 at Creative Cauldron, 410 South Maple Avenue, Falls Church, VA. Performances are Thursdays at 8:00PM, Fridays at 8:00PM, Saturdays at 8:00PM, and Sundays at 2:00PM & 7:00PM. Press night for Disenchanted is Saturday, October 5 at 8:30 pm. PLEASE RSVP BY SEPT 30.

Disenchanted follows the iconic princesses you know and love as you've never quite seen them before: Snow White is fed-up, Hua Mulan is skeptical, and Cinderella is obsessively cleaning every surface. In shedding fairytale visage, Giancino's book features some uproarious adult themes and language and sparks true introspection about the pressures of perfection. Disenchanted received award nominations from the Lucille Lortel Awards, won the Outer Critics Circle Award for "Outstanding Off-Broadway Musical," and the Off Broadway Alliance for "Best New Musical." The show has played to sold-out houses around the globe.
