Poisoned apples. Glass slippers. Who needs ’em?! Not Snow White and her posse of disenchanted princesses in the hilarious hit musical that is anything but Grimm. Forget the princesses you think you know. When these royal renegades toss off their tiaras, this hilariously subversive, not-for-the-kiddies musical reveals what really happened ‘ever after’! 

Disenchanted is directed by Peter J. Hill, musically directed by Robin Peterson and choreographed by Noel Irick.  
 
Disenchanted will play Nov. 5 - 21, 2021. 

Auditions will be held Saturday, Sept. 11 @ 10:00am and Sunday, Sept. 12 @ 6:00pm.  Callbacks (If required) Monday, Sept. 13 @ 7:00pm. Auditioners are asked to sing 16- 32 bars of a song that best shows off their voice and range, this will be followed by a dance audition.  Early video auditions - which must be submitted prior to September 11 – may be submitted and can substitute for appearing at the Saturday or Sunday auditions.  The video should include a song showing off your voice and range and a one minute dance routine demonstrating the extent of your dance training.  However, if chosen from a video audition, candidates will be required to appear in person at the callbacks.  Video auditions should be sent to peter@fhtaz.org.  FHT prefers and encourages auditioners to be vaccinated.
