You know the dwarves and the evil queen from “Snow White,” however there’s something about adding a comedic twist and catchy tunes to a well-known fairy tale that brings the story to life.
Wagon Wheel Jr. announced the second installment of its new youth theater program to hit the Wagon Wheel Stage: “The Rockin’ Tale of Snow White,” Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m.
“Musical genres fuse to create a rousing mixture of hip-hop, rock and roll, doo wop and more,” according to Pioneer Drama service who licenses the production. “In addition to the well-known cast of the kind princess, evil queen, multiple dwarves and the morally conflicted huntsman, this musical introduces us to some fresh new faces such as rhyme-happy ladies-in-waiting and a stick-in-the-mud governmental representative out to ruin everyone’s good time! (He nabs the Huntsman for attempting to kill a wild pig without a hunting license and fines a dwarf for picking a bouquet of state flowers).”
Snow White is staged once again by award-winning Artistic Director Scott Michaels, who directed the first junior production, “Tiny Thumbelina.”
According to the Wagon Wheel Theatre ticket office, the show was a huge success.
“Everyone in the audience was blown away by the talent in this community. If they liked the first show they are going to love this one!” said Michaels.
“The Rockin’ Tale of Snow White” is hilarious fun for all ages. All tickets are $12 and are on sale now by calling the box office at 574-267-8041 or visiting the website at wagonwheeltheatre.org
Proceeds benefit the Wagon Wheel Junior Youth Theatre Program.
