A wicked spell, a bewildered Princess, a frantic King, two powerful wizards, four magical Winds and a mysterious riddle all combine to make this musical fairytale a -Once upon a time- to -Happily ever after- delight all ages.

Simple settings.

Fairytale costuming.

Cast: 15 characters (3 F, 7 M and 5 either) or a cast of 7 with doubling: 5 M, 2 F. The tale, wondrously funny, is well summarized above.

Of course, after nine original songs, and musical guides for underscored stage business, all ends well just before the great tower clock strikes sundown-doom, and the riddle of the Winds is solved.

All begins on the 21st birthday of the Princess, the day she will choose a husband, and then Wartsitch the evil wizard strikes.

Not even good Gimlet can prevail.

In thIrty minutes three days pass, and still the riddle of release Is unsolved.

Good triumphs - - barely.

A brilliant musical farce of heroic scale and charm.

Widely acclaimed.
