The show follows the trials and tribulations of Penny, the Fairy Godmother's Assistant, who is trying to keep it all together while the Fairy Godmother enjoys a well-deserved vacation. She is visited by an assortment of characters seeking the Fairy Godmother's magical talents, which, unfortunately, Penny doesn't possess. So she has to put her smarts to the test to help Cinderella deal with her frog complex, the King with his wish to live forever, and the dueling Princes Herman and Sherman from ripping each other apart as they try to divide the Kingdom.

The Fairy Godmother's Assistant has been adapted for the stage by the Company and is directed by Liam Doherty. The show features the talents of returning favourite Sofia Stefou as Penny, Kanza Farris as Cinderella, Tony Medici as The King and Lenny DiGiandomenico and Michelle Fukes as The Princes.
