The 45th Annual Madrigal Dinner: The Princess’s Bargain

Ahoy! Join E+E for an immersive Renaissance dinner show!

The 45th Annual Madrigal Dinner brings The Princess’s Bargain to life! Set sail for an evening of royalty, pirates, adventure, magic, music, and Madrigal merriment.

SYNOPSIS:

When Princess Isla falls gravely ill, the only hope for a cure is the Moonblossom, a rare magical flower found across the North Sea. Desperate to save his daughter, King Aeris decrees that whoever retrieves the flower will win the hand of his eldest daughter, Princess Elara, in marriage. Unwilling to let her future be decided for her, Elara sets out to find the Moonblossom herself. Alongside her handmaiden Rosalind, she joins a band of pirates and embarks on a journey filled with dangerous seas, unexpected allies, royal rivals, and a little magic. To save her sister and determine her own fate, Elara must find the Moonblossom before anyone else.
