Auditions Announced for THE EVER AFTER, A Musical at Rivertown Players

RP_logoIs Ever After really as happy as everyone expected? In this hilarious parody of daytime TV, a talk show host wonders if time truly heals all wounds. She invites Cinderella and her middle-aged ’beauty-impaired’ stepsisters to reconcile with each other after being estranged for 20 years. What about Snow White and the Evil Queen? This hysterical fractured fairy tale has it all: a trash-talking clairvoyant mirror, an unfortunate prince who is turning slowly back into a frog and even Jiminy Cricket — now an occupational therapist and author of the book “My Life as Your Conscience.”

The musical is punctuated by questions from obnoxious studio audience members and ridiculously funny infomercials for fairy tale related products. Get ready to perform some knee-slapping and hand-clapping with great foot-tapping songs like ’Beauty Impaired’ and ’Dainty Do-Gooder’!

Actors must be 7 to 18 years of age.
