About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a family-friendly, joke-packed fairy-tale musical with big energy and sing-along moments, similar in spirit to Trolls or The Muppets; Not for you if you dislike stage-show style or potty humor.
Pros: catchy songs; cheerful, casual vibe; strong lead performances | Cons: uneven new material; some crude humor; runs a bit long
