A MUSICAL FOR A NEW KIND OF PRINCESS

Bliss

ABOUT THE SHOW

Once upon a time, there was a princess.
Whatever that means…

Blissfully, blindly unaware of the outside world, four sisters dream of a life beyond the castle walls. But breaking out of their tower brings a wake-up call more shocking than any kiss from a prince.

Where ‘perfect’ princesses and a pushy fairy godfather reign supreme, Piper, Faye, Carmella and Holly must decide what they’re truly willing to give up in order to ‘fit in’.

Featuring an electrifying new pop rock score, Bliss is a hilarious and heartwarming original musical for all ages, proving that staying true to who you really are – and living happily ever after – is more complicated than it seems.

BLISS premiered in London with a series of workshop presentations at Sadler’s Wells in March 2025.

London Workshop Presentations

In March 2025, a series of public workshop performances were held at Sadler’s Wells for BLISS – a new kind of musical for a new kind of princess. We welcomed over 500 theatre fans into the Kingdom of Minisculia across five sold-out performances, for an exclusive first look at BLISS at the very start of its journey in the UK.

What is a workshop performance?

Okay, so a workshop performance is basically when a new show may not be totally ready for its shiny West End residency, but we’re testing it out! It’s like a practice run for everyone — writers, actors, directors, choreographers, designers and producers — to see how the material works and indicate what to work on next.
