Happily Never After: Disenchanted!

Apple with darts inside the fruit, and names scribbled on the outside.

Poisoned apples? Glass slippers? Who needs ‘em!?

Forget everything you think you know about fairy tale princesses when Disenchanted! comes to the ECC Arts Center on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at 7 pm.

In this uproarious hit musical, Snow White and her squad of royally fed-up leading ladies toss their tiaras and take the stage to set the record straight. These aren't your storybook sweethearts. They’re fierce, fed-up, and ready to sing the truth. It’s not your average fairy tale. It’s anything but Grimm.

DIS!, affectionately known as the show, made its Off-Broadway debut in a limited engagement at the Theatre at St. Clements in December 2014, before transferring to an open-ended run at the Westside Theatre in 2015.

The production played to sold-out houses and received rave reviews from outlets including The Huffington Post, The New York Times, NBC-TV, CBS-TV, Broadway Blog, and The New York Observer.

DIS! earned multiple award nominations, including “Outstanding Off-Broadway Musical” and “Best New Off-Broadway Musical,” as well as two Lucille Lortel Award nominations for “Best Lead Actress” and “Best Featured Actress.”

It was also recognized by Playbill in its “Best of the Year” list for 2014 and received a Henry Hewes Design Award nomination from the American Theatre Wing for “Best Costume Design.”

This show contains adult language and themes and is not appropriate for children.

Tickets are $50 and available at eccartscenter.org, by phone at 847-622-0300, and in-person at the ECC Box Office.
