A review by Rachel Flanagan.

Charming is The Bachelor mixed with fairy princesses;  A reality television show, an eligible Prince Charming, a whole lot of drama and the possibility of finding ones' true love. When money troubles hit the Kingdom of Cham, King Darling asks his son, Prince Charming, to help. Charming has saved a lot of princesses, but he has no idea how he is going to save himself or his Kingdom.  That is until Morgana the Witch (who raised Rapunzel in a tower from a small child to a princess saved and abandoned by Charming) offers Prince Charming the opportunity of a lifetime.   If he participates in reality television show "The Royal Rose," he will win money and a Princesses' hand in marriage.  Unsure about the marriage but completely sure about the money, he reluctantly participates.  The plot thickens as there are ulterior motives for inviting Prince Charming onto the show and the audience gets to see all of the dirty little behind the scenes footage. Complete with original songs and the possibility of a happily ever after, Charming is a fun performance with a talented cast that will leave everyone wanting to tune in to see who wins the Royal Rose.
