Happily Ever After: A New Musical 

It's the ball of the year, and all eyes are on Princess Katrina. Which prince will she choose? Complications ensue when Katrina falls not for a prince but for Chrissy, a woman from a neighboring kingdom. Soon, the Wistmorrow Witch and her followers are on Katrina's doorstep, ready to cast a spell of discrimination over the land. Written in 2012, Happily Ever After is a feel-good pastiche of Disney princess movies and a celebration of queer love.

"You know when you eat the perfect quantity of the most delicious food and you’re perfectly satisfied but you want it to happen all over again? Well, that’s how I felt after seeing Happily Ever After."

Jones’ ‘Happily Ever After’ a magical experiment in pro-equality musicals (review)
