About Baby Wants Candy
Grimm AF is a dark, funny and occasionally filthy new musical from Baby Wants Candy and Schultz & Schirm that reimagines classic fairy tales for a very modern moment. The premise is sharp: in today's world, the villains want their stories back and they are willing to steal them. Men were men, women objects to be won, and children were left in the forest to be eaten by wolves and witches — but now the villains who always used to lose have found their moment. A thought-provoking romp about who gets to write the ending.
Why see this show?
Fairy tales as a lens on contemporary villainy sounds like a clever conceit, and Baby Wants Candy have form with high-energy musical comedy. Dark, funny, and apparently filthy — a strong combination for a late-night Fringe musical.
