“A fairy-tale that rocks!” –The New York Times
I'' be out for the press opening November 25th, so check back soon for my full review. This one-hour family musical is directed by Landree Fleming with music direction by Michael Mahler and choreography by Katie Johannigman. Each performance will be followed by a question-and-answer session with the cast.
"I've loved working on this incredible piece with these incredible collaborators,” stated director Landree Fleming. “The Snow Queen is a fantastic story not just for children, but for the entire family. Through the adventures of a brave-hearted young girl, it reminds us of the strength we have inside ourselves to overcome any obstacle, no matter how insurmountable it may seem.”
THE SNOW QUEEN is a rockin’ fairy-tale, guaranteed to bring a smile to audiences of all ages! In this whimsical and edgy adventure, Gerda commences on a dangerous quest to save her best friend Kai before he is trapped forever in the Snow Queen’s palace. In a land where animals talk and flowers sing, join Gerda on her journey to rescue her beloved friend. Filled with quirky and off-kilter characters and lively rock music, THE SNOW QUEEN is a perfect way to introduce young audiences to theatre.
This production of THE SNOW QUEEN stars Joryhebel Ginorio as “Gerda,” Alanna Chavez as “Snow Queen/Flower/Princess/Robber Girl,” Jeremiah Alsop as “Kai/Prince/Flower,” Caron Buinis as “Grandmother/Lady Crow/Wise Woman of the North/Witch/Robber Mother,” and Ryan Stajmiger as “Troll/Crow/Reindeer/Rose” with understudies Shela Coleman, Amy Yesom Kim, Jackson Mikkelsen, Elissa Newcorn and Nathe Rowbotham.
