Praise for Polly Princess: 
 
From Dry2olives.com: (5/5/05) "Under normal circumstances the likelihood of me having a great time at a children's musical is about as high as the likelihood of finding the cast album of Avenue Q in Stephen Schwartz's iPod, but Polly Princess and the Penniless Fry Cook, is so darn funny you can have a ball even without the little darlings around. It's a little like watching an old Sid Caesar/Imogene Coca sketch from Your Show of Shows ."
From the New York Daily News:  (4/17/05)  "The magic that makes "Polly Princess" so enticing for kids (as well as their parents) resides in its intelligent, irreverent writing, which doesn't pander to prepubescent audience members."
From BroadwayWorld.com:  (5/11/05)  "There is true magic in this humble Brooklyn playhouse... Polly Princess is better than most "family" theatre on Broadway, and...it is much more realistically priced for families, too. Skip the expensive Disney musicals and head out to Brooklyn. Spectacle shows can’t beat good writing with a good heart." 

 This time the slipper’s on the other foot.

 

                Polly Princess and the Penniless Fry Cook  is our first original story, a musical about the unlikely romance between the Princess of Queen’s Island and a fry cook from Albaster (both in the great land of Amsteryork.)  Polly Princess, royal heir to the throne, finds herself in a pickle when she learns that in order to retain her father’s fortune, she must find a husband in the next three days.  The catch is this:  he may NOT be a prince.  Polly’s existence as a princess is shaken; she is forced to reexamine her priorities, and she learns that there’s more to life than diamond tiaras.   Her friendship with Peter Pauper blossoms, and she finds herself falling in love with him in spite of herself.  As Polly sings in “Purple Rose,” (her revelatory ballad:) “He’s not the Prince Charming I dreamed of, but Princes and Charming don’t mean love.”  In the end, after several surprises and twists (thanks to Peter’s melancholy friend and Polly’s slightly manic Fairy Godmother)  Peter and Polly manage to have a happy ending.  

All performances are at the Impact Theater

located at 190 Underhill Avenue, Brooklyn, NY.  Take the 2/3 train to Grand Army Plaza.    

"Polly" spent 3 weeks on tour with Jenny Wiley Theatre, Kentucky in August and September of 2006
