Zanna, Don't! a musical fairy tale

Zanna, Don’t! is a hip new musical fairy tale about Zanna, a matchmaking teen who turns relationships upside down, challenges our point of view and (literally) changes the world. In this alternate America, Hartsville High School is just like all other high schools – boys falling madly in love with dreamy boys, girls planning dates with other girls. Scandal erupts, however, when young Steve and Kate find themselves attracted to one another, and it's up to Zanna, the local love fairy, to search for the right spell to make the world safe for the two lovers. But Zanna's spell has a bigger impact than he planned. Is this new world really what he wanted? With a little magic and a fresh pop score, Zanna, Don’t! celebrates the discovery of love in a world of diversity and acceptance.

With book, music and lyrics by Tim Acito (additional book and lyrics by Alexander Dinelaris), this Off Broadway hit won several Drama Desk, Lucille Lortel and Outer Critics Circle nominations and awards and was voted Favorite Off-Broadway Musical in the Broadway.com Audience Awards. Importantly, Zanna, Don’t! also won the Media Award for Outstanding New York Theatre Production from GLAAD (Gay Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) for its “fair, accurate and inclusive representations” of the gay community and issues that effect their lives.

“A chirpy new Off Broadway musical... with a pop score that aims to be nothing but catchy and a message that says nothing but that people should love each other...” – New York Times
