About this show

Once upon a time, two characters’ worlds were turned upside down by an invisible force called “the audience”. What happened next? Well, that is up to you... In this family-friendly improvised musical comedy, you decide it all: the hero, the villain, the quest and even the happily-ever-after. Expect show-stopping musical theatre numbers, laugh-out-loud lyrics and a wildly unpredictable adventure where no two shows are the same.
