What OUR AUDIENCE SAID…

“The audience gets the ultimate girls’ night out with this brilliantly performed cabaret of straight-talking fairy tale princesses dishing the dirt on their far-from-perfect lives since being married off to prince charming. Uplifting, original and hugely funny.”

— Dutchnews.nl

“Super fun. Me and my daughter loved it. Everyone was really engaged, and having fun with the roles. It drew us in. The music and lyrics were great. It was a small space, but the direction and choreography made it seem so much larger and quite a spectacle. Thanks!”

— Leif | Audience Member

I absolutely loved it. I even participated in the improv part - that was impressive. I can't improvise that way, making lyrics and music on the spot - wow. You have some good talent on this show, and everyone so enthusiastic and really giving the show. I had a great time.”

— Linor | Audience MEmber

About the show

The Dutch premiere of Disenchanted! presented by The Cauldron is playing at Theatre De Cameleon starting on March 4, 2022 through March 20, 2022. 

The original storybook heroines are none-too-happy with the way they’ve been portrayed in today’s pop culture so they’ve tossed their tiaras and have come to life to set the record straight. Forget the princesses you think you know – these royal renegades are here to comically belt out the truth.

The Off Broadway production in 2015 played to rave reviews and positive press from the Huffington Post, New York Times, NBC-TV, CBS-TV, New York Post, BroadwayBlog, New York Observer!

Please note that this show contains adult language and content and is performed in English. Tickets are €25 full price and €22.50 for students and may be purchased below. For more information, please email us at contact@cauldronperformingarts.com
