This character is a singing role with a solo song which is sung from off stage. This means that the actor can be added into other scenes as a different character.
Backing Track
She may appear to be an ideal princess straight from the fairy tale books, but there is more to her than that stereotypical image. She is an audacious young lady with a wonderful sense of humor and - surprisingly - manners akin to those of a teenager.
"I Know It's Today"
3rd verse up to "It's me Fiona"
Backing Track
YOUNG/TEEN
FIONA
This character is a singing role to show as Fiona grows up while trapped in the castle.
These characters can also be in other parts of the show.
Young Fiona
Settle in girls, it's story time!
There's a princess
In a tower
Oh my gosh, that's just like me!
Poor Rapunzel
Needs a haircut
But the witch won't set her free
She passes time by singing
Like someone else I know
As years go by she sits and waits
As years go by? Uh oh
A torturous existence
I don't remember this part!
She wishes she were dead?
Skip ahead! Skip ahead!
But in the end Rapunzel finds a millionaire
The prince is good at climbing
And braiding golden hair!
TEEN FIONA
So I know, he'll appear
And his armor will be blinding!
As shining as his perfect teeth
And manly hose
He'll propose
On one knee
And our pre-nup will be binding!
About time we set the wedding date!
Day number nine hundred and fifty eight
I know it's today
He'll show up today!
"I Know It's Today"
