The Real Tale Behind The Fairy Tale-"Picture Dr. Seuss meets Sex in the City" and you've got a taste of this flavorful One Woman Show. Written in complete spoken word and music, The Real Tale Behind the Fairy Tale puts a new, modern-day spin on the classic fairy tales we know and love from our childhood. Featuring nine different female characters, this tale no longer speaks of "happily ever after" but rather the true side of their stories. They are grown-up, liberated women who finally have been given the chance to speak out. And what they have to say is shocking! No children to entertain, no men to please, no rating system to filter their words. No expectations... just the unadulterated truth.

You are invited into a world beyond fairy tales. An intimate setting where Cinderella finally speaks out about her marriage with the prince. Little Red Riding Hood reveals why she always wears her "red hood", and Belle shares her recipe for "taming the beast". Come visit Alice as she finally tells her twisted version of what really happened... you'll be surprised to find out that Wonderland is not so innocent after all. It's shocking yet whimsical. Familiar yet totally unexpected. Heart wrenching yet life affirming. Fairy tales like you've never heard before...

Erin Jividen (also known as EJ) has been writing and performing music for more that 8 years. She has a bachelor of arts degree from Hunter College where she majored in Theater and Music. During this time, EJ began performing all over NYC and even traveled down to Miami, Richmond and Philadelphia with a group of budding young artists. She was a regular in the New York music scene and was often spotted performing at the most famous venues including: The Bitterend, Webster Hall, The Living Room and The Elbow Room. She recorded her first solo record "Another Insufficient Fare" in a tiny studio in upstate New York.


Immediately after school, EJ began working with Sony Music and spent over a year recording her 2nd album under careful watch of a creative team at Sony. Eventually she went on to make her third record with Michael Blum, where she spent 2 months in Los Angeles recording "Mermaid Songs". Most recently, EJ was signed to BonGiovi Entertainment Records, where she recorded in Pompano, Florida with the noted music producer, Tony BonGiovi.


Since her last CD, "Stuck in Traffic", EJ somehow found her way back into the theater world and wrote her first full length rock musical, "Skye Is Falling". She has continued to write and is currently working on a book, another new play and music for her next album. She has been featured many times in some of New York's most infamous gossip columns like: Cindy Adams, Rush and Molloy and gawker.com. She has shared her talent across the seas, where she performed a sold out concert at The Naval and Military Club in London and become the ambassador of a charity for the blind.
