A goofy comedy that makes fun of fairy tales and is a parody? Sign me up, please! Welcome to the Princes Charming, the feelingist-goodiest fairy-tailiest comedy happening during this Fringe season. And believe me, there is a lot to feel good about in this show and a lot of fun to be had in this tale. So let's begin...

Great cast, fast-paced direction, memorable characters, Princes Charming delivers exactly what you expect it to, as it should! It a little while to get going, but then skyrockets from there!

Don't try to make sense of the oddball behaviors. We're here to just laugh. And you will. You'll laugh....
