UGLY: A New Musical - REHEARSED READING
Please join us for a rehearsed reading of "UGLY: The Untold Story of the Step-Sisters", a one-act family musical based on Cinderella’s Step-Sisters.
Written by Nicky Douglas, with direction by Thomas Holland-Hare, UGLY utilises a three-person cast accompanied by a virtual orchestra. This wacky, lovable tale follows the sister’s journey to discover their inner beauty through bravery, truth, and kindness.
"...I must talk to the delicacy in which such a positive message was delivered. UGLY centred around the idea of beauty, and how external beauty has been utterly misconstrued to an unhealthy ideal. It really struck a chord with me, and it seemed so vital to present this idea to children too.” - Liam Stretch for Backstage Christchurch
PLEASE NOTE: This is a REHEARSED READING. Cast will be on book. There will be minimal blocking, with no costumes or makeup. There will however, be music, singing, lighting, laughs and joy.
