One of the best shows at Fringe is back for its 3rd year running, and boy oh boy did The Hairy Godmothers bring the house down once again with fabled Dizney In Drag: Once Upon a Parody!

This was my first time seeing this show at Fringe, and I was eager to see whether the Dizney crew would be able to fill the mighty glass slippers of the princesses who sang me through my childhood. As the show began, the crowd was instantly wowed with a dazzling throwback to Beauty and the Beast, as we were invited to sit back, relax, and be their guests.

During the show, we were taken on a journey of the protagonists' quest for love, all taking place under the watchful eye of their beer drinking, potty-mouthed, tenderhearted Hairy God Mother. With the beautiful voice of the protagonist and the vivacious, unpredictable nature of the princes and princesses, the crowd quickly knew that we were in safe hands with this incredible cast of performers.



Don't be fooled by the assumption that a Dizney show could be tame. That is what I initially assumed, and what a fool I was! This is a show that expertly blends music and comedy with social commentary, gender-bending, and a large dollop of naughtiness. The crowd was roaring as our tender-hearted heroine met a mermaid princess, who sang about her treasure trove full of silicone delights (she sure did have gadgets and gizmo's a-plenty!). Snow White was an intimidating hottie who worked the crowd and served an important reminder that consent is non-negotiable, and Gaston had us crying with laughter over the whole cast rendition of the parody, 'Strap On'.

There is so much to love about this show, but in particular, I loved how the cast worked to make the audience feel safe, entertained and educated, all whilst rocking 6-inch heels and colourful phalluses.

If you haven't got your tickets to Dizney in Drag: Once Upon a Parody yet for this Fringe season, what are you even doing?! There are only a few shows with tickets left, so get yours now !
Held at the Girls School, this is a prime venue for excellent Fringe shows, and is the perfect spot to grab a bite to eat and a drink before you laugh yourself into a frenzy. The main hall allows plenty of patrons to watch all the hilarity occurring on stage and amongst the crowd.



Endless thanks to the amazing cast who welcomed me to watch the show, I will certainly be back next year to get another helping of drag goodness!
