Musical Theatre Based on the Fairy Tale by Hans Christian Andersen
Gerda’s best friend Kay has destroyed her rosebush, all while making fun of her. When he did, evil splinters flew into his eyes and heart, so that he can no longer see the good in the world. When the Snow Queen kidnaps Kay, Gerda wants to save him, but princesses, robber’s daughters and an insolent flower garden test her endurance. Will temptation with its golden gleam and ice-cold malice win, or will courage and friendship prevail?
