Directed by Fiely A. Matias, Disenchanted! features Michelle Knight (Jersey Boys) as Snow White, (Legally Blonde) as Cinderella, Jen Bechter (Elf) as Sleeping Beauty, Lulu Picart (Listen To My Heart) as Hua Mulan/Pocahontas/Princess Badroulbadour, Alison Burns (Rent) as Belle/The Little Mermaid/Rapunzel and (Les Misérables) as The Princess Who Kissed the Frog. (Grease), (Jesus Christ Superstar) and Anthea Neri (Oliver!) are the understudies.

Here's how the production is billed: "Poisoned apples. Glass slippers. Who needs 'em?! Not Snow White and her posse of disenchanted princesses in the new musical comedy that's anything but Grimm. Forget the princesses you think you know. After multiple sold-out runs nationwide, these royal renegades toss off their tiaras to bring their hilariously subversive, not-for- the-kiddies musical to New York City �� and fairy tales will never be the same!"
