Into the Woods meets The Usual Suspects. Jill’s favourite fables are ending in tragedy, and she needs to figure out why. With the help of a hard-boiled detective and a trio of storybook characters, she confronts the Big Bad Wolf, Goldilocks, Troll, and the infamous Jack, on her way to uncovering the truth.
Fairy Tale Ending is a topsy-turvy yet touching tale of a young girl coming to grips with loss and the reality of growing up. With catchy songs like “I, like, totally don't even give a care”, “You don't know Jack”, and “Waiting”, this show will have you in stitches, moved to tears, and humming the tunes as you leave the theatre.

ABOUT THE WRITERS: Kieren MacMillan and Jeremy Hutton are writing some of the funniest and most compelling musicals to come out of Toronto since The Drowsy Chaperone. Together, they have written three original musicals: Fairy Tale Ending, which mixes well-known fairy tales together in a humorous and touching tale; ToboR the RoboT, the comical coming of age story about a robot who just wants to be a real boy; and Robin Hood: The Legendary Musical Comedy, which was produced to critical acclaim at Hart House Theatre in January of 2013.
