About this show
Today's world sucks! Escape to a simpler time... when men were men, women objects to be won, and children were left in the forest to be eaten by wolves and witches. Once upon a time villains always lost. But now they want it back, and they're willing to steal it. Funny, dark, occasionally filthy, a modern tale with uncomfortably modern villains. Fringe-fave Baby Wants Candy ('Entertainment phenomenon' * Scotsman, creator of Thrones! and 50 Shades The Musical) and Schultz & Schirm present a dark, funny, thought-provoking, occasionally filthy new musical about who gets to write the ending.

Grimm AF is a perfectly competent and enjoyable show, with some great little highlights, but it’s possible that Baby Wants Candy are a victim of their own success as I, and the crowd, clearly were expecting a little…
