Legendale

Info

  • Andy only feels alive when he’s playing “Legendale” online. After game fortunes turn sour, a milkmaid offers him an unlikely road to rediscovering his inner warrior. Legendale explores adventure, romance, and the power of fantasy, in a contemporary musical comedy that reminds us how to feel alive.
