The Wisteria Theater Company, one of the newest women-owned theaters in LA County in North Hollywood, California, has been putting on various plays and musicals for a while now. This early summer was spent with Rodger’s and Hammerstein’s Cinderella! A magical fairy tale that comes to life on stage, where you step into a world of pure enchantment, fantasy, with this beloved Broadway classic, that has been re-imagined in a more intimate setting, in such a small theater, with immersive set pieces, affects, music, dancing, the works! You go on a journey with Cinderella as she dreams and dares for a better tomorrow, wanting more for a kinder kingdom, where anything can be possible and does become just that possible!

The theater offers general admission tickets ranging from $21 for kids to adults being $37, with exclusive VIP options as well, one being $181 for box seats, and $140 for the front row! Having grabbed the “throne row” front row option of choice, our seats for my partner and I were right in the front row, front and center. Perfect view of the stage, performers, sound, affects all of it was a breath of fresh air. During the performance lighting affects were used, with various props, sounds, music, it made everything run so well. The actors in the cast interacted with some of the audience, while they strolled, ran, and briskly walked up and down the aisles.

The acts were divided up into act one and act two, with an intermission of roughly 15 minutes, with a total of 30 thirty songs throughout the two hour and thirty minute set. All of the songs were entertaining, fun, catchy, and made the musical and story telling so much more entertaining. All of he cast and it’s actors did splendid jobs, playing off one another, getting tons of laughs from the audience, during the second half of the performance, where Cinderella looses her glass slipper, and the Prince has to find her, he and his noblemen go into the audience and try on the slipper with various guests, myself included, with the duo commenting on my attire and crown upon my head too!

It was such a magical experience, and a fabulous performance done well by all, cast, crew, everyone, this take on the fairy tale classic was done so right. Cinderella’s story is told in a unique fashion, that captures the humor, fun, and magic of what fantasy and how dreams and love can be true for all.

Disney's Frozen and it's iconic song that is "Let It Go", has been actively known for the past 10 years now! So what not celebrate it with a parody, an immersive parody experience of an enchanted evening with cocktails and appetizers! This was "An Enchanted Evening! Immersive Frozen Parody Cocktail Experience", a grown-up fairy tale experience like no other! Live entertaining provided by the one and only Frozen sisters Anna and Elsa, with specialty cocktails, paired appetizers and much more. Having taking place at the Hampton Inn in Burbank, California, in one of the small conference rooms, this set up was chilling to the core!

Taking place across several weekends throughout the month of March, grabbing tickets for the last weekend, Saturday night's March 23rd festivities, a crowd of adults, it being a 21 and over only event, gathered in the lobby, entering the room later than expected. As the Frozen sisters were "Sobering up" beforehand, the guests were welcomed in a little after 8PM as opposed to it's 7:45PM start time.

After getting everybody seated around the rectangle table arrangement, with sparking lights, snowy table clothes, decor, and snowy effects, the show was split in 3 acts. Act one had the opening of Coronation Day, where Anna was awoken by the castle loud speaker, and Elsa came in shortly after, to tell her that it was Coronation Day, except not for the two Queen's but for someone else altogether this time around....

During the first act the sisters would sing a parody of the Frozen song "For the First Time in Forever" and "Do you want to Build a Snowman?" with other pop songs mixed in-between. This act was a flurry of snow good time. The second act featured the sisters Anna in her coronation attire, with Elsa also in her best dress, with them performing more songs pop and Frozen related. With the last and final third act being a closure with the pair singing some more pop songs, Disney songs, and Frozen songs like "Into the Unknown", "Let It Go", "Some Things Never Change", among others.

Fog, lighting, it was all filled with such fun, excitement, and highly entertaining throughout really. The crowned guest turned out to be one who was there celebrating a BDay, she was given the crown this fine evening, but as it would turn out that all the guests present would be crowned with crowns tonight! Everyone was enthralled and overjoyed, sharing laughs, drinks, and food, with a dessert of a cotton candy crashed iced find that was flavorful. The guests were given gift bags with some minor goodies like candies, snowman ball, carrot, and bubbles which were blown throughout the performance!

All in all though, this event provided by The Wisteria Theater Company, was a gathering of sorts, unlike any other. So much fun, entertainment, and utter joy, that no one was stopped from singing along, dancing, clapping, and just having one very good time after the other, this entire evening performance. Surely more events such as this one, is to be expected and perhaps be even better. But this one was one to be Frozen over for regardless.
