Children and adults alike, will be captivated by this enchanting musical based on C.S. Lewis’ adventure story about four children of war torn England, who accidentally enter the land of Narnia by climbing through a magic wardrobe. This strange and wondrous place is ruled by cold-hearted White Witch, who makes the winter last year round. Although they seem unlikely saviors, the children fulfill an ancient prophecy by defeating the witch, thus restoring sunshine and peace to the spell-bound Narnia and returning the great Lion King Aslan to his throne.
This wondrous tale is faithfully translated to the stage in Theatreworks USA’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, which the authors adapted from their own full-length musical, Narnia. Appropriate for ages 6 and up, this clever, charming musical combines all the ingredients of an unforgettable story. A doorway to a different and magical world at the back of an old wardrobe!
