About the show
From the Olivier Award-winning producers of CABARET and BENJAMIN BUTTON, this ‘dazzling, genuine musical treat’ ★★★★★ (The Stage) - named as one of The New York Times’ picks of the Fringe - is the biggest new musical of the Edinburgh Fringe, turning the classic fairytale inside out.
Four sisters escape their tower and collide with the outside world. Where fairy godfathers rule and happy endings come at a cost, this ‘hilarious, 80 minutes of tremendous fun’ ★★★★★ (Broadway Baby) rewrites the concept of happily ever after.
Hailed as ‘one of the hits of the Fringe’ ★★★★★ (British Theatre Guide), BLISS is directed by Tony Award nominee Sheryl Kaller and choreographed by Olivier Award nominee Josh Prince with a book, music and lyrics by Emma Lively and Tyler Beattie.
With seventeen West End performers, electric vocals and a pop-rock punch, BLISS the Musical is ‘one you won’t want to miss’ (Ed Fest Mag).
