The
Story
The Hon. All Purpus and the Dancing Princesses is adapted from the fairy tale "The Dancing Princesses". The princesses must be married by the time King Wanluv turns sixty five, on the eve of his birthday, he goes about trying to get his daughters married. The princesses are under a spell which transports them every night to a secret place where they dance the night away. Despite the king outlawing dancing, every morning the princesses wake up tired and their shoes worn out.
Complicating matters is the Hon. All Purpus who is waiting to seize the kingdom. Will the daughters be married in time? Will All Purpus become king? What about the spell cast over the princesses? All will be revealed by the end of the show
