Synopsis
This is what happens when you have a fairytale marriage and no pre-nup. The desperate housewives of Wonderland learn that princes can go to prison, shack up with a few little pigs, and drive even the fairest of them all to drink! Off-B’way playwright Buddy Thomas honors Nearly Naked with the WORLD PREMIERE of his latest genderbent comedy– a fractured fairytale that brings an arched eyebrow and an eye for dark, sexy hilarity to the “Ever After” that keeps going long after the happily fades away!


Genre; Stage/Live
Casting: Adults


Character Breakdown

6 actors aged 25-50+
Wonderland Wives is cast “genderblind,” with several roles able to be played by both men and women, as long as they’re “fabulous”! Please remember that all the princess are “past their prime” as far as cartoons are concerned, and need to be approaching 30 a little too quickly.

SNOW (25-35): Her time with the dwarves is long gone, but she still thinks she’s fairest in the land… with the help of a very tight girdle.
BELLE (25-35): Turns out if your husband was once a “Beast” then your children might be as well. Makes a princess want to drink… a lot.
CINDY (25-35): Glass slippers are only for the dainty… and Cindy is past her dainty period. Now she’s about to inhale the buffet table, and you’d better get out of her way.
ROSE (25-35): Someone just got back from rehab… and she looks fabulous! Maybe it was a Swiss plastic surgery center.
BRUCE (BEAST)/CHARMING (25-35): Plays both princes, one is hot, but right out of prison… the other… isn’t hot. Beer has consequences.
FAIRGODMOTHER/ALICE/MAGIC-MIRROR/EVIL QUEEN (45+): Alice (a la Bette Davis as Baby Jane) is just one of the crazy more “mature” characters played by this actor.
