Fairytales, just not like Granny told you....

Matilda Award 2018 for Best Sound Design/Composition

Three unlikely princesses open the genie bottle with this darkly seductive and wickedly funny cabaret that will turn your favourite bedtime stories inside out. Babushka give Rapunzel a sharp new haircut, put Goldilocks in charge of the three bears and give a whole new meaning to Puss in Boots! 

Combining off-the-wall banter, stunning voices and blind-siding arrangements, prepare to be tickled and prickled, as you’re led down the veritable forest path into a witch’s pot of surprising melodies from The Turtles, Beyonce, Rihanna and Lorde, to Kurt Weill, Kate Bush, Metallica and Sam The Sham.

Happily Ever After toured to 20 venues in Queensland in 2018.
