This full-cast musical audio play is based on Lisa Monde’s original musical of the same name, which in 2009 received a prestigious International Award “Musical Heart of Theatre” in the nomination “Creation of the Best Musical for Children”.
In 2026, the talented cast of performers from New York present this new audiobook, which is musical, educational, and fun for children of all ages and grown-ups who are ready to experience the fairy tale magic once again!
The mother of a boy who dislikes reading books buys a tour from a magical travel agency, which organizes tours to the Land of Fairy Tales…
Once there, the Boy learns the conditions for returning home: he must guess the names of all the fairy tales he encounters along the way. His guide through the Fairy Tale Land, Jack, and his other helpers, Owletta the owl and the sweet monster – Butler Oaken, will support him, but much will depend on him. Will the Boy have enough wits, courage, and endurance to return home?
He will make 13 stops. Each stop is a new Fairy Tale, which greets the guests with a song. The characters tell their stories. Some come from famous Fairy Tales, which even the Boy knows… while others are little known. Here, he simply needs hints. But the Fairy Tale characters cannot help him-that’s the rule. The Boy is completely immersed in the fairytale world and yearns for real interaction with its inhabitants. He falls in love with Cinderella, empathizes with the Little Mermaid, and wants to help Thumbelina… But it is against the rules: he can only be a spectator, while the characters from the tales of Hans Christian Andersen, the Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault, and other children’s writers sing and dance in fairytale settings. The adventure, full of surprises, ends happily: the Boy returns to his mother. But most importantly, he starts to read fairy tales! To thoroughly prepare for his next journey to the Fairy Tale Land…
