Synopsis

A story for the ages, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a riveting play filled with music, love, and magic. Like the C.S. Lewis novel of the same name, the show follows the four Pevensie siblings as they leave a war-riddled London in 1940, to find safety in a large home in the English countryside. It is here that they discover an old wardrobe; one that leads to the magical, snowy world of Narnia. Through a fantastical woodland adventure, the four children must fight evil, trust each other and, most importantly, believe in themselves. Told through stunning set design, larger-than-life puppets and a brilliant cast of on-stage actors and musicians, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a timeless tale of good and evil, one that can be enjoyed by children of all ages, especially during the holidays!
