Experience the magic like never before with Upper Room Theatre’s first-ever "theatre in the round" immersive production.

You’ll be spellbound as the legendary composing team of Rodgers and Hammerstein, known for their iconic works such as "The Sound of Music and South Pacific," weave their magic into this enchanting fairy-tale.
Featuring a brand-new book by five-time Tony nominee Douglas Carter Beane ("Sister Act," "Xanadu"), this production offers a delightfully romantic and hilarious take on the famous folk tale.
