Ella Enchanted: The Musical
By Karen Zacarías
Music by Deborah Wicks LaPuma
Based on the novel by Gail Carson Levine
Ella of Frell is given the ‘”gift” of obedience by Lucinda, her misguided Fairy Godmother, and is forced to do anything people command her. On her adventure to rid herself of the curse, she must outwit ogres, sidestep giants, befriend a prince, survive her step-family, and ultimately find the power to be her true self. Winner of the 2018 Helen Hayes Award for Outstanding Musical Adaptation.
“ELLA ENCHANTED heroically speaks to the value of words…the battle between saying ‘yes’ and ‘no’ wages a magical war…delightful and utterly disarming…A story that gives every child a chance to be heroic every day.” – Broadway World
