Disenchanted!, a new musical comedy written by Dennis T. Giacino, will play off-Broadway's Theatre at St. Clement's for a nine-week engagement beginning November 26. Directed by Fiely A. Matias and with musical staging by Matt West, the production opens December 4.

Described as a "hilariously subversive, not-for-the-kiddies musical," Disenchanted! is a look at storybook princesses behaving badly. The company includes Michelle Knight as Snow White, Becky Gulsvig as Cinderella, Jen Bechter as Sleeping Beauty, Lulu Picart as Hua Mulan/Pocahontas/Princess Badroulbador, Alison Burns as Belle/The Little Mermaid/Rapunzel, and Soara-Joye Ross as the Princess Who Kissed the Frog. Erin Leigh Peck and Karen Burthwright serve as understudies.

Disenchanted! features scenic design by Gentry Akens, costume design by Vanessa Leuck, lighting design by Graham Kindred, musical arrangements by Robert Meffe, and musical direction by Michael Raabe.
