Once upon a time, a single drop of sunlight fell from the heavens. The drop of sunlight bloomed into a magical golden flower that gleamed and glowed.
Now, in the kingdom nearby, there lived the beloved King and Queen, who were expecting a baby girl. But the Queen grew ill & needed the magic from the golden flower. The flower healed the queen, and a beautiful baby girl was born with glowing golden hair. A princess named Rapunzel. To celebrate her birth, the Kingdom launched lanterns into the sky.
But in every fairy tale, there is a villain. Mother Gothel, who knew of the restorative powers of this enchanted flower, broke into the castle to steal the child and her magical powers. She hid Rapunzel away in a tower deep in the forest and raised her as her own.
As hard as Mother Gothel tried to conceal Rapunzel from the world, the walls of her tower could not hide everything. Every year on her birthday, the kingdom launched thousands of lanterns into the sky in hopes that one day their lost princess would return.
Watch our story unfold as Rapunzel, with the help of the dashing Flynn Rider, escapes from her tower to begin her life outside its walls. Along her journey, she’ll find ruffians, thugs and where she truly belongs.

A huge blockbuster and Broadway’s 2nd longest running American musical, Chicago’s original production won 10 Tony Awards, and the 1996 revival won eight more. The original story is based on lives of actual criminals and their crimes and is a lively, highly musical satire on corruption in criminal justice and the phenomenon of celebrity criminals. Don’t miss the “Razzle Dazzle” and “All that Jazz” as the Athens’ production proves that “Nobody’s Got No Class” in life’s “Cell Block Tango.”
