Summary

From the beloved fairy tale comes a magical mix of music, masks and puppetry with lyrics and music by folk legend Michael Smith, direction by Tony Award-winner Frank Galati, visual and puppet design by Blair Thomas & Co. The Snow Queen takes her audience on a wild ride into the realm of myth and dream, where a talking reindeer, wooden soldiers, an enchantress, the mysterious Snow Queen, holds talking animals, wooden soldiers, witches, and lost children under her spell. This immortal story about innocence and loss belongs to the ages, and is a perfect fit for the family during the holidays: romantic, melodic, and moving.
