The Dancing Princesses at Imagination Stage

April 17-May 30, 2010

Book by Allyson Currin
Music and Lyrics by Christopher Youstra
Directed by Kathryn Chase Bryer

Set in the Roaring 20s, the show is a new musical take on the old Grimms tale. After the death of his beloved Queen, a grief-stricken King banishes dance from all the land, much to the distress of his people, including his two daughters, Lara and Lena. But the girls find their way to a magical world where jazz music, the Charleston and their mothers indomitable spirit are alive and well. Finally, the girls, his loyal lieutenant and a muckraking newspaper man bring the King to his senses. He lifts the ban and everyone rediscovers the joy of living.
