“Pure, lively (and live) entertainment! It is remarkable to see two dozen children abandon their electronic devices to watch a live stage performance and, when prompted, hear their advice and warnings called out to the heroine. SNOWHITE at Santa Monica Playhouse provides such a theatrical (and non-CGI) experience!” Tolucan Times.
The Rudie-DeCarlo musical fairytale for all ages is a captivating tale of companionship, coming-of-age, and the magical bond between mothers and daughters takes audiences on a magical adventure as everyone’s beloved young heroine journeys to find herself, her mother, and her true destiny, aided by Seven Silly Companions and a Most Magical Mirror.
No evil Stepmother, no shadowy forests or villainous potions; just a wondrously humorous and touching story of friendship, dedication and discovery, as Snowhite, and the audience, learn that love does, indeed, conquer all, even though it can sometimes be found in the most unlikely places. Audience member M. Ferrante exclaims, “Awesome! Great message!"
