I went with my daughters (9 & 15), sister and niece (11) to see this performance which was fabulous. We all Thoroughly enjoyed this amateur dramatics show which presented some excellent young talent. A lovely story well presented, highly recommend this show. Well done to all involved with the production.

We went to see this last minute after being handed a flyer. The stunning artwork certainly helped!
It's a wonderful show with great performances from the actors and dancers, with amazing vocals. We loved the songs, especially the upbeat woodland numbers and the closing company number. The story is new twist on some familiar fairy tale themes. It could be developed further but works well given the short show time of about an hour.
The production is very professional with great sound and lighting and clever use of video backdrops for the scene changes.
Definitely worth seeing.

We saw the show this afternoon after meeting some of the cast earlier in the week and we loved it! It’s such an easy show to watch as the story unfolds throughout with some fantastic musical numbers. We especially loved the Young Princess! We could see what this show means to everyone involved and wish it every success . Thanks for letting us be a part of your Fringe . The Laurens.

There's a lot to admire about this production, particularly the skill of the performers, the music, dance choreography, and the rich visual backdrop and sound design. However, theatergoers will be frustrated by the bewildering and complex story, which seems elusive no matter how much time is spent explaining it. It's hard to understand why the characters do what they do, or the rules of this fantasy world on which the drama hinges. The score is sometimes intriguing, sometimes beautiful, but doesn't often seem to mesh with the action onstage, and lyrics feel more inspired by the tale than part of it.
Because of the skill of the artistry I could recommend this show, with a warning that it's more of a sit-back-and-enjoy-the-presentation experience than a followable story.

A highly entertaining show. The entire cast, who are hugely talented, were committed to delivering an outstanding performance. Amazing voices and the ability to pull you into the storyline was wonderful. Highly recommended.

A great new musical with an amazing cast. All of the cast remain well engaged and the singing was phenomenal. However unfortunately the performance done in thrust didn’t seem to work for me but it still is a must see show
4.5 stars

A lovely heart-warming show with a perfect blend of original music and outstanding performances. The originality of the music added a fresh and vibrant touch, while the performers delivered with excellence. A must-see for anyone looking for an uplifting and delightful musical.

What an amazing show! The professionalism of the actors was astounding and the show was created and written with such expertise. The storyline was developed well with the dialogue and lyricism and the characters were clear. The only thing I would say is that the show does not fit a thrust stage and would have been clearer in a proscenium stage. The lights were vibrant and worked well with the costumes and music. Well done and I hope your shows keep going well.
