Plot Synopsis

This musical comedy fairytale centers on the dashing hero Galavant, who has a chance to take revenge and restore his "happily ever after" years after losing the love of his life, Madalena, to the evil King Richard. Once upon a time, Galavant was a slayer of dragons, protector of the innocent, and defender of the less fortunate. But one day, the evil King Richard fell for Madalena and kidnapped Galavant's ladylove. On Madalena and King Richard's wedding day, Galavant courageously fought his way back to the palace to rescue his love, but Madalena stunned Galavant -- and broke his heart -- when she announced that she was choosing fame, fortune, and the crown over Galavant. Five years later, Galavant is still heartbroken, drowning his sorrows in drink. Having given up on heroics, he's a bit out of shape and flat broke, but his faithful squire, Sid, sees a momentous opportunity when Princess Isabella of Valencia arrives in search of "The Great Galavant." She asks him to save her kingdom from its evil invader, who just happens to be King Richard. Galavant seeks revenge on his nemesis and wants to win back Madalena, but he doesn't realize that Isabella might not be revealing the whole story -- and first he has to try to fit into his hero pants.
