Overview

“It’s about a small girl. And a great adventure.” 

In a town called Stifle lives a girl named Gerda. She is the only child in Stifle – until Kai arrives.  

When the cruel Snow Queen whisks Kai away, Gerda embarks on an epic adventure, leaving her tiny town to face the icy unknown. Can she rescue Kai and save Christmas? 

Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fable is thrillingly reimagined in this spellbinding new production.  

A festively frozen fairytale for the whole family that you won’t want to miss this Christmas.
