The Edinburgh Fringe has introduced two anticipated musicals, Bliss and Disenchanted!, both aiming for broader appeal. Bliss, co-created by Tyler Beattie and Emma Lively, features a cast of 17 and explores themes of self-discovery among princesses, while Disenchanted! critiques traditional fairytale narratives through a comedic lens.
Watch for potential expansions of Bliss, which could enhance its visual storytelling and character depth. Disenchanted! may evolve as it seeks a more dynamic venue. Both shows reflect a shift in musical theatre, prioritizing character agency over traditional narratives.
