This is a simple, lively 35 minute children’s musical based loosely on the traditional story of Rapunzel. A witch (and her sisters) trick a couple into parting with their baby. The sad couple leave the land, baby Rapunzel grows into a lovely girl with long hair. Jealous of Rapunzel’s beauty, the witches lock her out of sight in a tower. Rapunzel escapes to play with the animals in the garden, but they catch her. As a punishment, they cut off her hair and put a spell on the tower so that there are no doors and no stairs. The cut hair is woven into a rope. Each day, the witch climbs up the rope to bully the miserable lonely girl. One day, a prince is passing, and hears Rapunzel singing. Infatuated, he climbs the rope but falls into a bed of thorns and becomes blind and loses his memory. Some time later, as a beggar, he chances to meet Rapunzel once again. Her tears fall into his eyes and his blindness is cured. This is the beginning of a happy ending! Preview the script and songs at https://www.easyprimaryschoolplays.com
