ASoB The cast of Artistic Synergy’s Guys &
Tale as old asâ wait. No. Thatâs not right. The seaweed is always greenerâ no. Thatâs not it either. The cow as white as milk, the slipper as pure asâ oh. Definitely not. With the flurry of various and sundry fairytale musicals being done here, there, and everywhere, who can keep them all straight? What about a lesser known fairytale?
