INFORMATION FOR
“Disenchanted! A New Musical Revue” by Dennis Giacino of Cranford, will be staged in the Hunziker Black Box Theatre at William Paterson University in Wayne. The production is the winner of the seventh annual New Jersey Playwrights Contest and will run from June 9 to 26.
The production takes a raucous, funny, eye-opening look into how the women of the “Mouse House” really feel about their “Disney-fied” portrayals. The original princesses: Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, are joined by a host of other leading ladies known to Disney aficionados including Pocahontas, Mulan, Esmeralda and Jane Porter. This song-and-dance musical revue reveals the behind-the-scenes lives of some of your favorite characters.
