You loved how fantasy characters faced reality in the movie Enchanted. Just the opposite happens in this unique and contemporary version of the Brothers Grimm’s Twelve Dancing Princesses that features lots of female roles. When young Angie Anderson keeps finding worn out shoes scattered about her room every morning, she decides to look into the mystery... causing her to be magically sucked into her closet! Angie’s intrusion into the fantasy world of Metaphasia has caused the Fantasy Walls to start crumbling, so Howie, her little brother, follows her with hopes of saving her. In Metaphasia, the plotting, sinister ringleader of the twelve dancing princesses, Devilla, plans to make Angie the thirteenth princess. This would allow Devilla to leave Metaphasia forever and trap Angie as a lifeless princess, forever stuck in Fantasy! Will Howie find a way — with nothing but a blanket of invisibility and his own wits to help him — to rescue Angie and escape? This unique show invites a large chorus to participate, including as Synchra and her entourage, the Synchrettes, and the electric rock group Tyrone Schu and the Sole Thrashers, while your twelve princesses will literally leap at the dance opportunities. With a gentle message about accepting changes in our lives embedded in this coming-of-age story, the exciting adventure and upbeat, original tunes will captivate imaginations of all ages.
