Twice Charmed:
An Original Twist on the Cinderella Story
Immerse yourself in a live Broadway-style song-and-dance extravaganza aboard the Disney Magic.
All Because of a Shoe
Beginning where the classic Cinderella film ended, this rousing musical is a fresh new take on the original Disney story. In this musical, the story revolves around the premise: What if Cinderella never got a chance to slip on the glass slipper, leaving those nasty stepsisters with another chance to get their claws into Prince Charming? This hilarious, high seas production answers the question.
A New Villain in Town
Reuniting the characters from the classic Disney animated film, this musical masterpiece stars Cinderella, Prince Charming, the Fairy Godmother, mice Gus and Jaq, the stepsisters Anastasia and Drizella, along with Lady Tremaine the Wicked Stepmother—and introducing an all-new character—the wicked Fairy Godfather Franco DiFortunato!
The Story Unfolds
The dastardly DiFornato makes an evil pact with Cinderella's stepmother guaranteeing that one of her 2 sniveling stepdaughters will receive a wedding proposal from the prince, instead of Cinderella. So, using his evil powers, the nefarious Fairy Godfather transports the wicked stepmother and her stepdaughters back in time on a mission to destroy the fateful glass slipper before Cinderella can don it. Oh my! One would imagine this shatters Cinderella’s chances of having a happily-ever-after ending with Prince Charming. Or does it?
It's Showtime
This dazzling theatrical production brings together Broadway-caliber music, costumes and special effects. The music and lyrics were created by Alan Zachery and Michael Weiner—who also wrote the book—combining pop and rock ‘n’ roll elements to create an enchanting score.
Twice Charmed: An Original Twist on the Cinderella Story features 8 songs, including 6 original to this production and 2 beloved classics "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo" and "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" from the Disney film.
