I got a new show! From April 21st - May 1st I will be performing the role of Squire Everett in John Bronston & Joshua Robinson's new show 'Fairy Tale: The Musical.' Essentially, it is a gay retelling of sleeping beauty. This time Beauty is the young Prince (played by Brandon T. Chinn). He is to marry Princess Deceptia (played by Elyssa Samsel), but cannot stand the sight of her. Beauty would rather spend his time with his squire, Everett (played by me), from whom he has never been apart. They soon discover their love for each other, but know it must remain a secret. Princess Deceptia discovers Beauty and Everett in a compromising position. She hatches a scheme that would allow the wedding to continue as planned, but give the three of them the freedom to be happy. The jilted ex-Queen Jewell Diamond (played by Sahara Davenport of RuPaul's Drag Race) knowing all of this, placed a curse on Prince Beauty that put him into a deep sleep from which he can only be awakened by the kiss of his true love. When the kiss of his new bride fails to rouse him, fairy tale characters from all over Fairyland come to make the attempt. As you might have guessed Squire Everett is Prince Beauty's true love, but to wake him would risk certain death, as being gay is illegal in Fairyland. The music is AMAZING and the story is both hilarious and touching. If you are in NYC come help this wonderful show become a success!
