Angry Psycho Princesses

(A comedy about a family trapped in a Disney-like theme park)

Book By William Missouri Downs - Music & Lyrics By Sean Stone

Synopsis

 To save their crumbling marriage, William and Kate Fankhouser of St. Paul, Minnesota, take their daughter Cindy on a budget vacation to Pretty Princess Park—a low-rent knockoff of Disneyland.

 

Cindy is enthralled by the animatronic “Hall of Princesses,” where public-domain royalty like Snow White and Sleeping Beauty come to robotic life. But things take a surreal turn when the family gets locked in overnight, and the princesses come alive—not as androids, but as bitter, pot-smoking humans. The jaded princesses warn Cindy to escape before the tyrannical Queen Badassery transforms her into a robot princess forever.

 

That’s right: Pretty Princess Park is actually a front for a sinister cult of warlike rats ruled by the malicious Queen Badassery. Once a sweet girl herself, Badassery succumbed to “Bambi Syndrome” after watching Walt Disney’s Bambi—the trauma of Bambi’s mother’s death turned her into a wicked adult villain.

 

As William and Kate attempt to rescue their daughter, chaos ensues. Kate gets sidetracked by the Charming Prince, who turns out to be a misogynistic jerk, while William has an ill-advised flirtation with the Little Mermaid—a radioactive half-woman, half-mackerel.

 

Eventually, the Fankhousers come to their senses and join forces with the rebellious, angry princesses to take down Queen Badassery in an all-out war against “once upon a time” and “happily ever after.”

 

Angry Psycho Princesses is a wild farce for anyone who’s over fairy-tale clichés and ready to embrace the hilariously absurd.
