Bel Oiler earned the title part as Rapunzel in auditions Monday night. She will share the role with Aubree Neville. The first performance is at 7 p.m. Friday, with an encore performance at 4 p.m. Saturday.
It's out of the tower and on the run as a zany cast of friends and foes help Rapunzel's harrowing escape from the towering imprisonment of Madame Gothel. Add a dash of French flair and pinch of personal triumph and friendship, and this is a story the audience won't forget.
