You will be uplifted by this fresh and funny fairy tale spoof! When Evil Princess Viv, the king's banished sister, does not receive an invitation to celebrate the birth of her niece, Princess Tulip, she crashes the party and bestows a vengeful gift upon the princess. (It may sound familiar, but we assure you it's not THAT story). Young Princess Tulip is cursed with being light of heart, mind and body - sentenced to float through life until she sheds her first sorrowful tear. In other words, she is a ditz, and she needs constant supervision. About the only thing Tulip can do on her own is swimming, so Viv goes to lengths to drain the entire lake! Now Tulip is forced to stay in the palace, and she's driving everyone crazy! The zany "doctors," Pomp and Circumstance, come to the rescue only to announce that a cure is impossible. But don't worry, there's still a happy ending - it's a fairy tale, after all! Other entertaining and loveable characters such as Prince Eddie's cat Daffodil and Viv's cat Arty - the two dueling felines - will make you want to curl up with this charming comedy. Children as well as adults will be on cloud nine with laughter!
