Not everything is what it seems in the magically musical storybook land of Hanoveria. Romance isn't all it's cracked up to be, and the town is ruled by a queen so consumed with power that she plotted against her own brother to get the throne. So when Luna, the moon, descends to earth disguised as a human, she has a chance to help everyone find love and happiness, even falling in love herself. But on the way to happily ever after, she'll have to deal with some wacky evildoers, a bunch of fed up princesses, and just about every other fairy tale creature you can think of!

Published Reviews

"Designed specifically to be performed by a large cast of middle- and high-school students, the authors pepper the script with snappy one-liners, local and pop-culture references... The play is fast paced and full of fun, with the overlying theme of staying true to oneself handled with a light touch."
