Rapunzel – Family Theatre Show

Let down your hair with our latest all-singing, all-dancing version of the classic fairytale Rapunzel! In our highly entertaining retelling, we’ll whisk you to present day south London where our heroine Rapunzel finds herself working for a wicked witch in a hair salon by day, and locked in a towerblock at night…Can a passing African prince rescue her from her predicament and show her the world that has always been kept from her?

Featuring original songs and music by Paul Tornbohm, video effects by Joe Kaufman of Red Kite Films and costumes by Jackie Poulett, expect a highly original musical show from the creators of Tales of Beatrix Potter, Little Red Riding Hood: The Truth! and last December’s Beauty and the Beast. Creative director and co-writer Jonathan Kaufman is joined on this project by emerging Kenyan playwright Anita Ojukwu, here making her UK debut as co-writer.

After her debut as Peter Rabbit in our recent Tales of Beatrix Potter we’re delighted that Chioma Nwalioba is returning as Rapunzel, plus Spontaneous favourite Paul-D Stephenson (Tales of Beatrix Potter, The Gingerbread Man, Sinbad the Sailor) is the pampered African Prince Baraka. Last but not least, Darrie Gardner makes her Spontaneous debut as Rapunzel’s step-mother, the wicked Witch!
