easy primary school plays
Rapunzel
A lively happy funny 35 minute children’s musical for ages 7 upwards. Witches steal baby Rapunzel who grows into a lovely girl with long hair. Jealous of Rapunzel’s beauty, the witches lock her in a tower. Rapunzel escapes to play with the animals, but she is caught. As a punishment, they cut off her hair and remove the stairs from the tower. The cut hair is woven into a rope. Each day, a witch climbs up the rope to feed the lonely girl. One day, a prince is passing, and hears Rapunzel singing. Infatuated, he climbs the rope but falls and loses his sight and his memory. Some time later, as a beggar, he meets Rapunzel again. Her tears fall into his eyes, curing him. The King and Rapunzel’s real family come in search of their offspring. All are reunited and the witches go to jail. We love this play and hope you will too!
