Gideon & The Blundersnorp

Gideon and the Blundersnorp combines witty characters and pulse-pounding excitement with a rousing cinematic/medieval-folk score. Underlying the fun is a positive message: what we become in life is fueled by personal character, not social class.

Gideon is a stablehand who yearns to join the Royal Cavaliers. Alanna is a young viscountess wanting to be free of the limitations placed on her by her position in society. Thrown together by chance when they are captured by bandits, the two must first escape those awful bandits, culminating in a thrilling horseback chase through a treacherous forest. Once free, they must face a giant, ornery monster — the terrible Blundersnorp!

This show won Best Musical at the 2021 Hollywood Fringe Festival.

According to Tracey Paleo of GiaOnTheMove.com, “Gideon is a hands-down Broadway level script with a matching musical score that surpasses anything you would expect from a Fringe show. Everything about this piece is inventive and delightful.”

“Long ago I came to the conclusion that the best dramatic medium to tell epic fantasy is not film with its special effects, but live theatre with its power of imagination. Gideon and the Blundersnorp is an example of why I feel that way.” — David MacDowell Blue, theatre critic

“The hour flies by so quickly and enjoyably you want to stay and see more.” — Rob Stevens, HainesHisWay.com
