A Cutthroat Boardroom Fairytale

True love, revenge and business savvy collide in this fun-filled musical sketch comedy revue featuring a dozen Toronto singers and actors.  Blending the disparate elements of The Apprentice's boardroom drama, The Princess Bride's romance and fantasy and Kill Bill's vengeance-driven carnage, THE APPRENTICE BRIDE brings together classic characters from all three popular phenomena to form a mixture of laughter and song.

The megalomaniacal Donald Trump must find an Apprentice from a motley crew of competitors ranging from the aspiring poet Fezzik to the hyper-violent O-Ren Ishii to the revenge-seeking Inigo to the frothing mad Omarosa. Mixed into all of this are star-crossed lovers Westley and Kill Bill's Beatrix Kiddo, whose devotion must carry them through obstacle after obstacle.
