"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!"

"Very amusing! Hilarious - this one is very funny! The tunes are peppy and the lyrics are exceptionally witty - comparable really to the best of Forbidden Broadway!"
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."

RAVE REVIEW - BROADWAYWORLD MINNESOTA
"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!"

"The songs are so much fun! Disenchanted! has a clever book and lyrics ... a strong message at a very important time in our society. The musical handles it perfectly through humor and catchy songs! It's simply empowering!"
RAVE REVIEW - KDHX RADIO
"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 - LADUE NEWS

RAVE REVIEW - BROADWAY BLOG
"Riotous, boisterous! A musical theatre knockout! Cultural diversity is also on Mr. Giacino's agenda, saving The Princess Who Kissed The Frog for a Motown flourish that brings down the house!
