Based on Hans Christian Andersen's beloved winter tale about a boy lost in the cold, and the girl who won't give up until she finds him, Victory Gardens' The Snow Queen is the rare family musical that sings to children, and speaks to adults. Clever, evocative puppetry, warm storytelling, a live band, and Michael Smith's chillingly beautiful score combine for "a terrific
holiday show in a great theater" (Chicago Sun-Times) and "the nicest present we've gotten for the holidays" (Time Out Chicago). Expect a few new touches when director Jim Corti takes the The Snow Queen's directorial reins in 2009.
