West End women unite for a digital retelling of hilarious hit musical DISENCHANTED

Hit musical Disenchanted will receive a digital revival next month, when West End leading ladies transform into the princesses we all know and love…with a twist!

Streaming via stream.theatre from 9-11 April, Dennis T. Giacino’s musical will feature Jodie Steele as Snow White (SIX The Musical; Heathers), Sophie Isaacs as Cinderella (SIX The Musical; Heathers), Grace Mouat as Pocahontas (&Juliet; SIX The Musical), Millie O’Connell as The Little Mermaid (Be More Chill; SIX The Musical), Shanay Holmes as The Princess Who Kissed The Frog (RENT; The Bodyguard), as well as Courtney Bowman (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie; SIX the Musical), Natalie Chua (Priscilla Queen of the Desert; Bat Out of Hell), Allie Daniel (RENT; The Secret Society of Leading Ladies), Aisha Jawando (Tina the Musical; Motown the Musical) and Jenny O’Leary (Heathers; We Will Rock You).

Revamping the tales of ‘happily ever after’ in an empowering all-female musical romp, Disenchanted brings together a band of not-so-merry princesses, keen to rewrite their tales as old as time. Tossing their tiaras and setting the record straight, the royal renegades are here to comically belt out the truths that fairy-tales would have preferred stayed quiet. 

The acclaimed overseas production received nominations for Outstanding Off-Broadway Musical at the Outer Critics Circle Awards and Best New Off-Broadway Musical from the Off Broadway Alliance.

The new digital adaptation has been filmed entirely on green screen for pure unadulterated fantastical fairy tale escapism. 

Director Tom Jackson Greaves said: “Disenchanted is exactly what our audiences need right now as we fill our hearts with hope for the future - laughter, magic and just a couple of woodland creatures… and this cast?! Just you wait…”

The first 200 tickets purchased to the premiere performance on 9 April will also receive exclusive access to the VIP after party with the cast of princesses on Zoom.
