Get ready for a spellbinding journey as the beloved tale of “Ella Enchanted” leaps from page to stage in an enchanting musical. “Ella Enchanted: The Musical” will captivate audiences with eight performances from May 3 through May 11 at Yocum Institute for Arts Education in the Schumo Theater.
Based on Gail Carson Levine’s award-winning novel and brought to life by the creative talents of playwright Karen Zacarías and composer Deborah Wicks LaPuma, this Helen Hayes Award-winning musical adaptation invites viewers of all ages into a world where words hold the ultimate power.
“Ella Enchanted” tells the story of Ella of Frell, who is burdened with a “gift” of obedience by her misguided Fairy Godmother, Lucinda. Forced to obey any direct order, Ella embarks on an extraordinary quest to break the curse. Along the way, she faces ogres, giants, a scheming step-family, and even finds friendship with a charming prince. But can she claim her independence and show the world her true self?
Audiences will be delighted by this heartwarming tale that champions bravery, self-discovery, and the importance of saying “no.” Ella Enchanted has been praised for its “magical war between yes and no” and described as “delightful and utterly disarming” by Broadway World.
