presented by The Growing Stage

Ella of Frell is given the “gift” of obedience by Lucinda, her misguided Fairy Godmother, and is forced to do anything people command her. On her adventure to rid herself of the curse, she must outwit ogres, sidestep giants, befriend a prince, survive her step-family, and ultimately find the power to be her true self. “ELLA ENCHANTED heroically speaks to the value of words…the battle between saying ‘yes’ and ‘no’ wages a magical war…delightful and utterly disarming…A story that gives every child a chance to be heroic every day.” – Broadway World

Book & Lyrics by Karen Zacarias

Music by Deborah Wicks la Puma

Based on the Newberry Honor book by Gail Carson Levine

Age Recommendation: Entire Family  |  Estimated running time: 90 Minutes
