Score Samples

A shorter, more compact version that keeps all the songs intact, but replaces much of the dialogue with narration designed to bind the songs together.

The show opens to wild cavorting and primitive drumming as a wicked sorcerer shatters an evil mirror and disperses the shards throughout the land. The pure friendship of Kai and Gerda is broken when a mote strikes kai in the eye. He falls under the Snow Queen's spell of cold, hard reason, and everyone thinks he's dead.

Armed only with the power of true friendship, Gerda pursues him to the far north. Into the River of Life, through the Garden of Narcissism, to the realm of the Snow Queen, she travels to find Kai and the secrets of Eternity as well.

Hans Christian Andersen would have been pleased with this versatile production, and so will your audiences.

 

Sample Scores:

"Negativity": big production show opener, wild drumming and cavorting.

"Youth Is Sweet":duets and solos, "...like a rose it fades away.."

"Come With Me": Snow Queen's hypnotic solo with dreamy sprite choreography.

"I'll Go With You": duet with Kai and Snow Queen.

"Finale Battle Dance": instrumental dance.
