| Once upon a time there was a Princess who bumped into a Fairy Tale Handyman on a street near Central Park in Manhattan while seeking her very own fairy tale — for adaptation into a Broadway show, of course. She follows him to his shop in the basement of the castle in the park and demands that the fairy tale handyman, Rick, conjure the perfect tale for her Broadway show. The embittered Rick is under a curse to weave tales until someone actually likes a tale he creates. The Princess simply orders him to weave his best tale for her, threatens him if he doesn't create the best tale ever told, and then departs to go shopping. | |

| In despair, Rick wishes he could have been cursed to spend his life as a frog instead of a handyman. In a flash of inspiration, he determines how to begin. Upon her return, he gathers his courage and gives her a magic flute, telling her to play. She refuses, insisting that only servants play music, never someone in her station. However, with a bit of magic she begins and soon discovers the joy of making music for others. As her heart softens, her true tale becomes clear to her. Grateful to him, she assists him with his predicament by releasing him from his curse, so that they may both live happily — but far apart from each other — ever after! | ||||
