Choreographer/Producer Willy Marchante to Debut Unusual Dance-theater Pastiche at PH

Orlando FL - Popular dance-theater artist and emerging producer Willy Marchante is about to debut a sensational new dance-centric fairytale pastiche entitled TWISTED ENCHANTMENT on Saturday, September 4 at the Footlight Theatre - 410 N. Orange Blossom Trail.

Central Florida arts devotees who have attended shows at the Footlight Theatre or the Orlando Fringe Theater Festival are likely to have witnessed the incredible virtuosity of dancer/ theater artist Willy Marchante A.K.A. -Mr. Willy to some.

Having stared in multiple variations of VARIEtease, the short man with huge talents has been a standout performer in every show in which he has appeared. Many have expressed feelings of sheer joy over seeing Marchante's interpretation of Jason Mraz�- Lollypop in one such dance presentation.

Marchante has been dancing and choreographing for entertainment entities such as Universal Studios and Sea World for many years. He also teaches year round at Dancer's Edge Studios in Winter Park Florida, which is home to Casting Shadows Productions, which presents shows conceived of, directed and choreographed by Willy Marchante.
This year Willy wrote, choreographed and appeared in his very own Fringe show - DREAMS, SCHEMES, AND CIRCUS CROWDS, presented under his Casting Shadows brand. The show was a critical hit and audience favorite.

Beginning on Saturday evening September 4 (and continuing Saturdays through September 25) Wanzie is pleased to present Willy's latest high energy curiosity which promises to be entertaining in delightfully stylized ways the audience would never envision when it comes to enacting Fairytales.

But then again, Marchante's TWISTED ENCHANTMENT is not standard fare, but rather the real stories behind the children�'s tales.

Marchante is inviting everyone to Come find out what happens when fairytales stop being pretend and start getting REAL!"


TWISTED ENCHANTMENT offers an insider's look at the people whom you have only read about until now. See them dance and confess their lives while exposing the real dirt behind the childhood fluff. Watch as their lives become intertwined in a web that would make Little Miss Moffat run away screaming!

See Prince Charming as the womanizer he truly is. Be touched as Jack gets off that beanstalk and comes out of the closet! Learn that Little Red was named so, not for the red she wore but rather for the color of the lights in her bedroom. Finally; watch the Queen of Hearts go haywire as her poker face tarnishes!
