5While Genovians very well know the tale of their first princess who strangled the man that tried conquering Italy and forcibly married her, it's a fairly esoteric story. Mia references it in passing for a creative writing assignment, explaining she's descended from Rosagunde. Lilly herself is shown to be ignorant about Genovia, causing her to become embarrassed when Michael shows that he studied up on the country. Thus, it wasn't just the in-universe DancingBear that Princess Mia was playing the lead -- though that helped with the audience and Mia herself surprised that she can sing after the intense rehearsals -- but the dancing bear that the story is quite shocking. Lilly even notes that Rosagunde's story has AndNowYouMustMarryMe, TheCaligula, and MaritalRapeLicense when Grandmere explains it. It also helps that Grandmere probably delegated the script to a ghostwriter, who turned a standard ClicheStorm into one heck of a showstopper so that the story was passable.
