Experience a brand new science fiction adventure musical featuring live music by The Altogether and art by Thomcat23!

This holiday season, Anywhere Theatre invites you and your family to blast off into a hilarious, high-energy, intergalactic adventure like no other! RUMPELSTILSKIN IN SPACE! is a brand-new science fiction adventure musical – a perfect mix of interactive theatre, original music, dazzling visuals, and slapstick laughs that will leave kids and families beaming with joy!

What's the Story? Rumpelstiltskin (played by Tony Hamilton) has traded spinning wheels for spaceships and starlight in this futuristic twist on the classic fairytale! In our story, he’s a clever trickster rogue, zooming through galaxies under the command of the wicked Queen Quark, the all-powerful Space Witch. Alongside his snarky AI sidekick Oscar, Rumpelstiltskin searches the universe for “Star Shifters” – beings who can transform starlight into gold! Once he tricks them with his clever riddles, he takes them back to the Space Witch to spin starlight into gold…forever!

But when he meets Stella Nova, a young shifter with a galactic heart, everything changes… Will he continue his tricks, or find the courage to rewrite his destiny?

Like K-Pop Demon Hunters or Ponyo, Rumpelstiltskin in Space! takes folklore and fairytales into the future with infectious music, colorful costumes and sets, and plenty of interactive adventure for everyone!

Rumpelstilskin in Space! is:

Interactive! Rumpelstiltskin in Space! allows kids and families to be part of the action: decoding alien messages, chanting catchphrases, and even helping steer the plot in real time. Rumpelstiltskin in Space! is full of call-and-response energy! “Should we push the button?!” You decide!

Physical! Audience members can take part in alien dance lessons like “Galactic Glide” or join the sound effect squad by making rocket noises, laser blasts, or thunderclaps using their bodies!

Gentle! Rumpelstiltskin in Space! takes science fiction and adventure story tropes and converts them into gentle, silly energy. In our universe, it’s not a laser battle, it’s a dance off; light sabers become pool noodles and noisemakers become rocket engines!

Perfect for Holiday cheer! After all the interactivity and silliness, Rumpelstiltskin in Space! is at its heart a delightful story about kindness, courage, and making unlikely friends across the stars.

Creative Magic Behind the Scenes:

Who’s writing the Music and Songs? Fresh off their incredible work on Anywhere’s production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, The Altogether (Jonah Scott, Emma Freeman and Sierra Scott) brings their signature folk-rock sound to the breathtaking galaxy of Rumpelstiltskin in Space!

Who’s creating the Artwork? Philadelphia-based artist Keni Thomas (aka Thomcat23) brings his graffiti-meets-pop-culture flair to the show’s projected settings, with plans to animate his artwork and create a visually spectacular universe. He’s also designed our amazing official show poster!
