Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved winter tale about a boy who is 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.
Meet Kai and Gerda – the best of childhood friends. But tragedy strikes when Kai’s eye and heart are pierced with frozen shards from the Devil’s mirror, and the loving boy Gerda knew vanishes. The evil Snow Queen has put Kai under her trance and spirited him away to her palace of snow and ice. Wooden soldiers, talking reindeer, a sly enchantress, robber girls and lost children swirl in her mysterious spell. But it is up to Gerda to brave the Snow Queen’s icy ire and bring Kai home to the love that awaits him.
