"I believe that I'm the bravest- the bravest of them all!"
Grab your popcorn and your pixie dust- it's time for a fairy tale! In this crowd-pleasing musical, the classic fairy tale is reborn as an epic musical for the whole family!
Sensitive and intelligent Princess Snow White has grown up in the shadow of her flashier, but shallow, sister Rose Red. When a bankrupt Prince Charming and his cunning assistant roll into town, the evil Queen sees a plan to seize the throne for her daughter- and herself. Soon, Snow White has been banished from the castle and sent to her doom... but who are those seven figures in a forest hunting lodge? Could they be Dwarves?
Written with the talents of Off-Broadway actress Elly Noble (who later originated the role of Tink in "Tink") in mind, "Snow White" features four meaty star roles for your leading ladies, a handsome Prince who's more than meets the eye, and seven dazzling dual roles for the actors who play both the Dwarves and the nobles of the kingdom. Throw in some dancers, stir, and enjoy!
