Summary

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 musical that both sings to children and speaks to adults. Eye-popping puppetry, warm storytelling, and a 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).
