About the show
To Be a Prince is a 50-minute family-friendly comedy musical by Grownup Playhouse, performed at the Pickle Studio. The show gives the fairytale Prince his own spotlight at last — frustrated that he never gets the fun songs, never appears in the title, and never feels like his wishes come true. Following the Prince as he sings his very own songs and complains about his neglected role, the show gently leads him to reconsider whether his place in the story is so bad after all. Suitable for ages 8 and over; tickets are £10 with a concession of £8.
Why see this show?
A witty twist on the fairytale formula that the whole family can enjoy. To Be a Prince flips the usual story from the sidelines, giving the overlooked Prince a chance to make his case — with songs.
