FAMILIES will have a brush with adventure when Rapunzel comes to town.

Starring Jen Pringle of Channel 5’s Milkshake, Rapunzel arrives at Weymouth Pavilion on Monday, October 22 as part of its UK tour.

This new adaptation of the Brothers Grimm adventure features memorable songs, beautiful costumes and magical scenery, plus a host of colourful characters.

This heart-warming story, which is a brand new APL Theatre production for 2018, features audience interaction plus some well-known songs to create an enchanting and exciting production that captures the spirit and joy of this wonderful story.

In a lonely tower, deep in the forests of a far-away land lives the beautiful princess Rapunzel. Captured as a child by a devious witch, Gothel, who uses Rapunzel’s magical hair to sustain her youth and beauty.

When a handsome Prince stumbles upon the tower and wishes to free Rapunzel, will Gothel’s plans be ruined for good?

Creative Producer, Paul Leno, who has an extensive history of presenting family shows and who also

directs the touring production, said: “We are delighted one of our most popular productions is returning to tour venues across the UK for a limited season this year.

"Rapunzel is a joyous adaptation of this well known tale and like most classic stories, involves a big journey for its central characters and it

guarantees fun, music and theatre magic.

“Rapunzel is an ideal treat for children and for the great big kids who accompany them!”

“APL Theatre is thrilled that Jen Pringle will be returning to APL Theatre after her run of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz this time last year. I know she is as excited as us to be lighting up the stage with her fantastically bubbly personality.”

Jen Pringle says: “I am so excited to be playing Rapunzel this year. I had the best time playing Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, and I know that once APL put their stamp on this story, it’s going to be just as magic!”
