"A musical-comedy satire that turns fairytales upside down ... with bite and hilarity! And it is funny! A ribald, raucous ride ... you really must see!"
RAVE REVIEW - BOULDER WEEKLY
"Rambunctious Grrrrr-power comedy! It piles laugh upon bawdy laugh! 'Disenchanted!' is positively enchanting! It's no wonder there wasn't an empty seat in the house! Disenchanted! delivers!"
RAVE REVIEW - WESTWORLD BOULDER
"'Disenchanted!' is very much relevant! Satirizes the cultural assumptions, historical distortions, and masculine obtuseness behind the perfect Disney princess image. Disenchanted! is delightful ... casts a spell! Witty ... very funny!"
RAVE REVIEW - ONSTAGE COLORADO
"Irreverent ... tongue-in-cheek! Stellar and energized! Fun and entertaining!"
RAVE REVIEW - BOULDER DAILY CAMERA/STOCK DAILY DISH
"An unflinching, warped, and consistently funny view of what becomes the standard for fairytale endings for Western culture in the 21st century. Serious questions about impossible beauty standards, cultural appropriation, sexism, and racism arise through the fairly rapid rotation of tunes and skits. But these legitimate questions never weigh down the inherent comedy, charm, and light-heartedness of the piece. A message of self-acceptance that's powerful in its simplicity and universality!"
RAVE REVIEW - PATRICKDORN.COM COLORADO
"The funniest and most tuneful all-women musical revue since the Nunsense franchise! Disenchanted! pokes fun at, yet empowers everyone's inner princess! Dennis T. Giacino uses surprise, wit, and guilty pleasures galore to make the show as entertaining as it is! Clever!"

"A hilarious campy musical spoof! Laughed out loud, whistled, and cheered from the moment the show began. This musical spoof/satire does have an underlying message and that is what makes it all the more wonderful and appealing to me. It's about acceptance and being confident in who you are as a person. Thank you Dennis T. Giacino. I will see this one again and again! I had to wipe tears of laughter from my eyes. This is a hit!"

"Hilarious" "Clever and gleefully satiric"
"Uproariously funny" "Disenchanted! packs a potent message of female empowerment within the parody"
RAVE! - FLORIDA THEATRE ON STAGE
"Highly entertaining, hysterical, irreverent, clever, poignant" "A delightful romp" "Hysterically funny" "MNM’s Disenchanted Enchants"
RAVE! - PALM BEACH ARTSPAPER
"Delightful . . . gives us straight talk, song from the princesses” “A sly satirical revue” "A celebration of female empowerment and self-esteem . . . should not hesitate to attend and partake of the fun"
RAVE! - SOUTH FLORIDA THEATRE MAGAZINE
"Hilarious . . . a rollicking crowd-pleaser" "I was happy to see women with a diverse array of body types represented on stage as well as those who appeared to span a large age range” "Uproariously funny numbers that touch on more applicable issues of representation, equality, and the oppressive tyranny of the male gaze . . . I could not only identify no weak links in the lineup but had almost the opposite problem - any time I was about ready to call one or another number the highlight, I was wowed by another”
RAVE! - THEATER PIZZAZZ
"The audience at the Kravis Center’s Rinker Playhouse loved the show and there were plenty of reasons to.
The music was lively. Bobby Peaco’s band was great.
The songs were toe-tappingly lively.
The lyrics were witty. The script was funny."

RAVE! - NPR/PBS - WGCU
"Disenchanted is an unapologetic rebuke of P.C. – no, not political correctness, but the misogynistic Princess Complex that Disney permeates each of Disney’s princess sagas.
Dennis Giacino’s clever script and lyrics . . . saves the show’s most poignant moment until the end. It happens when Snow White is forced to confront the reality that even the feminist in charge can be both the victim and the perpetrator/progenitor of misogynist thinking.
Well worth seeing!"

RAVE REVIEW - CHICAGOLAND MUSICAL THEATRE
"A satirical side-splitting spin on the stereotypical sing-song Disney musical! Has the irreverence of Spamalot and Shrek! A true delight!"
RAVE REVIEW - DAILY HERALD
"Disenchanted! deliciously disses princesses in sketches, songs! A distillation of cultural criticism lobbed at Disney's animated film princesses. Disenchanted! shows how funny raw feminism can be via smart songs and naughty comedy sketches. Written and composed by Dennis T. Giacino, the show becomes a proud example that men can also be feminists! Giacino is on-target in musicalizing gripes against Disney by the likes of overly analytical academics to parents annoyed by too much princess merchandise filling their homes. By bringing up topics involving body image and other issues tied to 'the princess complex,' the show could kick-start a dialogue between parents and teens."

"The salty, sassy princesses of Disenchanted! are smart, strong, and unwilling to put up with crap from anyone! These are the kind of princesses that little (and not so little) girls should emulate! A super fun show for anyone who loves and/or hates Disney princesses! Featuring catchy and melodic tunes, clever and funny lyrics! It's a really fun and fantastic 90 minutes!"
RAVE REVIEW - HOW WAS THE SHOW, MINNEAPOLIS
"Exuberant, campy, and fiercely funny! Dennis T. Giacino offers up a slate of expertly crafted and energized songs!"
RAVE REVIEW - PIONEER PRESS
"It's a delight! Dennis Giacino's songs ably ape both the soaring ballads that earn Disney a best song Oscar nomination virtually every year and non-princess show tunes such as 'Mein Herr' of Cabaret .. songs that decry racism (Finally), ignorance of history (Honestly), literary license (Not Vone Red Cent), objectification (All I Wanna Do Is Eat), and of course sexism. Once upon a good time ... a happy 90 minutes!"

"Fast-paced, funny, and fiercely feminine! The show is filled with clever lyrics and twisted humor ... as hilarious as it is informative! The lyrics humorously point out the generalizations and unrealistic expectations the movies have encouraged over the years. A surprisingly uplifting and emotionally empowering tribute to women of all shapes, sizes, and cultures! A delightfully upbeat girl power musical!"

RAVE REVIEW - CULTURAL CAPITAL, LONDON
"Delightful! Highly satirical! Funny, sassy! Some of its best moments come
from seeing how Giacino has reoriented and reimagined the wider lives of these women that uses their original story while also operating on a meta level to
understand how those narratives have been shaped by external and largely commercial factors! Disenchanted! will do for fairy tale princesses what Six did for the wives of Henry VIII, making them more than prizes to be won ... giving them back their individuality and their voice! Now that's the kind of happy ever after we can believe in!"

"A playful score that is not unlike those of Alan Menken! Hilarious show - laughter and strong messages! Dennis T. Giacino has written a work full of humor! This humor and cartoon princesses allow him to address a lot of topics: racism, homophobia, misogyny, the dictates of Western beauty, or the most insulting tendency of Disney to Americanize everything. A musical that is as funny as it is original! Enchanting!"

"Disincantate! (Disenchanted!) is the brilliant, hilarious musical that tells the true story of the most beloved princesses after the 'and they all lived happily ever after'! The effect that I hope this musical from i perFORMErs will have is that we can see more and more brilliant and well-made titles like this one! Catchy songs on first listen, lightning beats, a message that is worth subscribing as it speaks of self-acceptance, of how to fight gender stereotypes and those misleading messages for girls that certain fairy tales bring with them ... this is the right way to make good theater! The usual final question we ask ourselves is "Would you take a taxi to see it?" My answer is an enthusiastic yes!"

RAVE REVIEW - XS ENTERTAINMENT - NOOSA, QLD
"A superbly sassy, witty, fast-paced and unapologetic political and social statement about everything that’s better than being a storybook princess! Off-Broadway style big belt voices, beautiful close harmonies, cute and silly contemporary choreography, sexy costumes and loads of sass make this politically correct call to arms a delightful surprise!
Even in this enlightened age it seems that it still takes both guts and grace to stand up and proclaim that we don’t need a guy, or that we actually need to eat. And all of this, taken up and written down by a guy. Praise be. Disney purists will laugh along with these talented girls right from the opening number, One More Happ’ly Ever After, dripping with sarcasm and brimming with righteous anger, to A Happy Tune, which clarifies the issue of domestic duties and the mental load with the hilarious and well timed help of triangle, kazoo and the sweetest smiles, to the sad-but-true and very funny All I Wanna Do Is Eat.
You’ll surely feel compelled to cheer and shout for the rights of princesses everywhere - NOOSA Alive! audiences eat it up! You'll love it!"

RAVE REVIEW - WEEKEND NOTES
"Take your daughters. Take your sons. Whoop and holler and then tell everyone about it! A brilliant message! This is Perth's great talent slamming home a brilliant message - tight, funny, deliciously acted, and smashingly sung - 5 APPLES! None of them poisoned!"
RAVE REVIEW - ARTSHUB
"Disenchanted! is to Disney fans what Spinal Tap is to rock fans! Feminism at its finest! It's cray-cray fun and downright clever! You are going to fall in love with this show! 4.5 out of 5 STARS!"
RAVE REVIEW - THEATRE TRAVELS
"A woke assessment of the problematic aspects of cliché fairy tales - defying expectations and subversing societal norms! It felt human, enchanting the audience with endearing authenticity! It's simultaneously hilarious and very, very impressive! It felt like the room erupted into laughter several times a minute. An unapologetic, sassy and incredibly relevant musical with a stellar cast that had the audience at the Maj both in awe and in stitches. A delightfully irreverent update on the princess stories we know so well!"
RAVE REVIEW - ISOLATED NATION
"5 out of 5 STARS! A hilariously fiery, feminist denunciation of the classic Disney princess stories that we all grew up watching! Hilarious and refreshing! A wonderfully entertaining show! Side-splitting! The princesses comically call out issues relating to feminism, racism and Americanisation – to name a mere few – which keep the audience captivated and choking with laughter!
This show resolutely rejects the notion that domestication, marriage and beauty are the gauges by which a woman’s success is to be measured and unapologetically stands up to other questionable qualities of Disney’s film portrayals of these classic fairy-tales. Through admirable assertiveness and self-confidence, these kick-ass princesses ensure that these misguided notions are, and ought to remain, merely “once upon a time.” I highly recommend catching this side-splitting performance!"
RAVE REVIEW - PERTH HAPPENINGS
"5 STARS! A hysterical and sassy take on the storybook princesses! Entertainment at its absolute best!"
RAVE REVIEW - THE FOURTH WALL
"Do not miss this down-with-Disney-Diva posse’s incredible break of the glass ceiling as they hit every note with perfection! Disenchanted! is an honest, bawdy, balls-out demonstration of the negative pitfalls that come from merely thinking positively! Do not miss this hilarious look and fun poke at the stupidity of all of those once sought after scenarios. Spend the night watching the damsels rescue themselves in Disenchanted!"
RAVE REVIEW - SUBIACO POST - TIME OUT
"I confess I was not looking forward to an evening of feminist rants against princes (not that they don't deserve it) but Dennis T. Giacino's adult musical comedy is better and smarter than that! It is more about how Disney stripped them of their origin stories to portray them as pretty, mindless, big-titted male fantasies. Each princess has her moment to shine! They are all fabulous and all display a fine sense of comic timing! Don't miss it!"

"Disenchanted! Forever!
"If you're looking for a fun night out at the theatre over the next two weeks then the Brunker Community Theatre production of Disenchanted!, which kicks off its season on Wednesday, is exactly what you've been seeking."
"Classic tales suck as Cinderella, Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty are all turned on their head and given a heavy dose of truth serum over the two-act musical. In fact, the production will change the way you watch princess movies on Disney Plus forever."
"And there are plenty of laughs. You'll be having so much fun with these characters."

POSTERS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE! - DISENCHANTED!
The Apple-with-Darts logo was created by Frank Fraver, American design artist and Drama Desk Award winner!
Frank has designed key art, logos, and poster art for such Broadway shows as The Lion King, Sunday in the Park with George, Deathtrap, Sweeney Todd, The Sound of Music, Carrie, Baby, Carousel, Follies, The King & I, Oklahoma!, Forbidden Broadway, South Pacific - just to name a few! - and, of course, Disenchanted! You can check out Frank Fraver's amazing work (or purchase his new Broadway poster book HERE.
Thank you, Frank, for your artistry, talents, and generosity that has seen the Apple-with-Darts pop up here, there, and everywhere in between around the globe!
Enjoy a trip through Disenchanted! poster art (2009 - present) below!
THE EARLIY YEARS (2009 - 2013)
(Left) Prior to Frank Fraver's genius Apple-with-Darts logo, this early princess-belting-from-a-turret logo created by Off-Broadway director Fiely Matias was introduced during the 2009 NYC Disenchanted! workshop. The artwork was eventually deemed to TYA (Theatre for Young Audiences) for a musical written for audience ages 14-up.
(Right) Original Orlando Fringe Fest poster art featuring OG Snow White (Michelle Knight). 2011. The concept was a hard-working, take no prisoners Snow White storming the castle with her band of royal renegades.
OG Snow White (Michelle Knight) became the poster child of Disenchanted! from 2011 - 2014. Billboards, marquees, posters, programs and eventually a giant digital billboard in Times Square NYC featured Ms. Knight as Snow White.
Disenchanted! has toyed around with numerous catch-phrases for the show - "Happ'ly ever after can be a royal pain!" and "A New Musical Comedy that gives fairy tales the bird!" We finally landed on "And they lived happ'ly ever after. Well ... not exactly." for Off-Broadway and beyond! 2013-2014
OFF-BROADWAY, NORTH AMERICAN TOUR, LICENSING (2013 - 2017)
Frank Fraver was brought in to create the Off-Broadway logo for Disenchanted! in 2013. Original Off-Broadway poster signed by the creatives, cast, and crew.
2014-2015.
Disenchanted! featured alongside Broadway's On The Town at train and subway stops throughout New York City. 2015
The Disenchanted! logo even appeared on CBS Television in New York City. 2015
