A rock musical about good against evil, with a princess, a hero, an empress, a witch, a villain and a court jester. Live actors perform in front of a projected storybook screen while rock songs carry the plot. The story asks what is true, whether love beats fear, and whether evil can be beaten. Good wins, but only after a fight, so it suits kids who can handle a villain and loud music.
