With a multigenerational cast including guests from our extended Bruin family and a live band, this musical blends Shakepeare’s original language with fun, contemporary folk-pop songs.

Welcome to The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon. A Whimsical Journey Through 209 Fairy Tales.

Our energetic ensemble leaps from tale to tale, stitching them together as we trace the surprising beginnings of some of literature’s most beloved characters. Along the way, you’ll meet a few unfamiliar but unforgettable faces like Pinkie Pie.
