About this show
Hello Princess! The Princess Party Planners are here to make your day magical – nothing less will do. But behind the glitter, one performer starts to realise the fairytale she’s selling isn’t so magical for her. As her job intensifies, feelings become harder to ignore, and cracks in the fairytale start to show. Can she take off the princess mask and face the story she’s been avoiding? A funny and heartfelt dive into the messy magic of becoming yourself. Expect laughter, discomfort, and a tear or two – but no guarantees of happily ever after.
