“A Fairy Tale Rewritten in Rhythm”

Once Upon a Rhyme: The Legend of DJ Magic Mirror & The Wicked is a bold multimedia musical that fuses classic fairy-tale mythology with contemporary music, movement, and visual storytelling.

Set in an enchanted world where rhythm shapes reality, the story follows DJ Magic Mirror as he navigates truth, power, and destiny — while the Wicked watches, waits, and rules from the shadows.
