For the first time two masters of stage and screen, composer Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Newsies, Aladdin) and lyricist Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Godspell, Pippin) join forces to adapt this time-honored story for the musical stage. The music’s orchestral power and choral beauty, along with bold and dramatic theatrics create a powerful rendition of this timeless tale. Content Advisory: PG13 – Contains adult themes.
