No me toques el cuento
We all know the princesses from children’s stories: always beautiful, cheerful, kind… and, of course, all of them can sing. But do we really know their lives? Do we know what their fairy tale meant for them? What happened after “and they lived happily ever after”?
No me toques el cuento shows how four princesses (Snow White, Cinderella, Belle, and Aurora) rebel and demand to tell the other side of the story. A cheeky, provocative musical comedy exploring the pain, traumas, and insecurities that were never told. Written and directed by Olivia Lara, the show frees these women from their idealized roles to reveal their most human side, interacting with the audience and breaking the fourth wall.
