About this show
Come on a madcap, rock'n'roll musical journey of plotting and scheming with folklore's most notorious villain. Exiled to the Deep Dark Wood, he parties hard and rocks out every night with his cronies, far away from the goody-goody townspeople of Fairytaleville. But whatever happened to Little Red Riding Hood? Did the Three Little Pigs go on to have a successful career in techno music? Does his Fairy Godmother have what it takes to change the ways of a hardened carnivore? Original, high-energy fun with live rock music, punk attitude and plenty of laughs.
