Tangles? Split Ends? Frizzy? Flyaway? It’s hard enough having a bad hair day but pity poor Rapunzel spending her life in a tower with a wicked witch using her captive’s locks as a step ladder! What sort of damage is that going to do to your hair?

The music for this family production is composed in a variety of styles including that of a Mariachi band, and makes notable use of harp, guitar, harmonium and prepared piano. The first piece available to download accompanies Rapunzel's gradual realisation that her "Granny's" motives may not be as pure as she first thought, and is taken from the eponymous audiobook. The second piece is a suite of themes belonging to Juan Gonzalez, the devilishly handsome and dashing Prince who, after falling in love with Rapunzel, seeks to rescue her from the clutches of "Granny".
