Narnia, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the first and most famous story of the Chronicles of Narnia, is brought to the stage in an unique musical with all the fantasy and enchantment of a world filled with creatures and spirits of myth and fable – both good and evil, demonic and transcendent. Ordinary children learn extraordinary lessons in courage unselfishness and wisdom. Your spirits will soar as Narnia sings – from the excitement of the opening song, “Aslan’s on the Move,” to the joy of “You Can’t Imagine (How Beautiful It Was).” Based on the C.S. Lewis novel / Book by Jules Tasca / Music by Thomas Tierney, Lyrics by Ted Drachman / Directed by Jon Tracy
