Synopsis

Written by Mark O'Hara, Badin faculty member, with music by Billy O'Hara, Badin 11th grader, this short musical comedy takes the elements of classic fairy tales, heats them in the fire of modern storytelling, and bends them into surprising new shapes with delightful, original music. A showcase for Badin's crooners and thespians, the story follows a princess searching for ways to shatter her family's reputation for doing evil deeds. Her guides include a vociferous frog, a jazz-singing enchantress, and the biggest idiot you will ever see on stage!
