COMEDY. So, you think you know the story of Rumpelstiltskin? Not! If Rumpelstiltskin can turn straw to gold, why does he need jewelry? Why does he even want a baby? What would Rumpelstiltskin’s family be like? Wouldn’t the King notice that after he married the Miller’s daughter that she never turned straw to gold again? Easy to stage, this wacky, fast-paced version of the famous Grimm fairytale answers these questions and adds plenty of humor, music, dancing, and intrigue to entertain audiences of all ages.
