One of our family’s most treasured traditions during the Christmas season is to get all dolled up and spend an afternoon downtown. The highlight of this afternoon is attending The Children’s Theatre holiday production of the year and then we follow it up with dinner at Arnold’s. This year the Children’s Theatre will be presenting “The Snow Queen” and we are thrilled to get to go see it. I love how they have a different tale to tell each holiday season, and the shows are designed with the young ones in mind, so they are always short enough to keep the attention of young children without making them feel restless in their seats. I have a voucher to give away that can be exchanged for two tickets to see “The Snow Queen” for one lucky reader to win.
More Details About the Snow Queen ::
The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati continues its 90th MainStage Season celebration with THE SNOW QUEEN, directed by Jay Goodlett. Music by Steve Goers, book and lyrics by Alyn Cardarelli.
Embrace the season with this chilling show, based on the original frozen fairy tale by Hans Christian Anderson. In this wintry tale, a prince and princess find themselves torn apart by an ill-advised wish that the Snow Queen must grant during the Winter Solstice. Come see Prince Kai, Princess Gerda and her comrades as they enter a world of the unknown to reunite with each other once again.
The story has been adapted by Chicago playwright Alyn Cardarelli, along with his Cincinnati writing partner Steve Goers. Their collaborations on musicals for children include world premiere adaptations of Where the Wild Things Are, Stellaluna, and How I Became a Pirate. Productions of THE SNOW QUEEN were featured twice in the history of The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati — once in 1965 performed at the Emery Theatre and once in 1975 performed at the Taft Theatre. THE SNOW QUEEN is ideal for family with children ages 4+.
