Off-Broadway musical sensation Disenchanted! is set to receive its UK professional premiere at The Pentland Theatre at Pleasance at EICC, this August as part of the Edinburgh Fringe.
Now in its twentieth year, having been performed on five continents since its off-Broadway debut, Disenchanted! features more bite, more sass and zero damsels in distress. Forget happily ever after; Cinderella’s done cleaning, Sleeping Beauty’s wide awake and Snow White’s calling the shots now. These princesses don’t want to play nice, they want to storm the castle – one show-stopping number at a time.
The musical by Dennis T Giacino and Fiely Matias will run at The Pentland Theatre at Pleasance at EICC from 5 to 30 August 2026.
Giacino and Matias say, “We had our beginnings as artists showcasing our works at numerous Fringe fests around the globe. To now be part of the mother of all Fringes is a fab dream come true. Fringe, with its focus on freedom of expression, is where we found our unique and unbridled brand of mischievous musical-comedy. We are uber-excited for audiences in Edinburgh to Dis!-cover these rowdy royal renegades as they fringe-fully bippity-boppity belt out the no-holds-barred truth about happ’ly ever after. This is a plucky princess party that is anything but Grimm. The T will be spilled. #PrincessesUniteWorldwide.”
