If you are unaware of the connection, most people woudn't even notice, and just enjoy the show for what it's worth.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786139533776263328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-355710172491008422013-02-23T19:06:17.946-06:002013-02-23T19:06:17.946-06:00Have not seen the show nor really knew anything ab...Have not seen the show nor really knew anything about it until your post. I'm such a loser, sometimes!! I did however watch two musicals for the first time ever last weekend, Singing in the Rain and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. I loved them both!Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600979915661464945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-36215414118584365092013-02-23T12:04:59.828-06:002013-02-23T12:04:59.828-06:00I would love to see it.

The songs are great, and the characters are so interesting--sort of like watching Fractured Fairy Tales. I absolutely adored the song my son sang, "Agony," with the other prince. It might be my favorite song that he's performed!<br /><br />I also find the witch to be a really interesting character. The only part I didn't care for was Cinderella's mother in the tree--her moaning and screetching got on my nerves.<br /><br />Definitely see it when it comes to town!JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-33600082795670129862013-02-22T10:43:47.927-06:002013-02-22T10:43:47.927-06:00I haven't seen (or even heard of!) this musica...I haven't seen (or even heard of!) this musical, but the mention of fairy tale elements caught my interest.

He bought the cds and we watched the filmed version from the original cast. So funny. So much going on. It's just one of my favorites.Heather G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18051840056392247706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-1004636601085042892013-02-22T09:38:33.781-06:002013-02-22T09:38:33.781-06:00Not a musical I'm familiar with, it sounds lik...Not a musical I'm familiar with, it sounds like more than one visit is needed.Felicity Grace Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852843882007267665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-72551924692250774602013-02-22T09:22:49.675-06:002013-02-22T09:22:49.675-06:00Makes me think of another boo I want to read - Sc...Makes me think of another boo I want to read - Scarlet, the retelling of the Little Red Riding Hood story as cyber fiction...
