FROSSET
2019-10-27 14:00 - 16:00, 2019-10-26 19:30 - 21:30
This fairytale is unlike the one you’ve heard, because it is much colder. Long ago in an Icy Kingdom there lived two sisters, one a Queen and the other Princess. The Ice Queen was born with whimsical powers, which both her sister & she enjoyed. But as the Queen grew so did her powers, until one day she could no longer control them. Fear became the Queen’s enemy; and she has become the monster people saw her as. Casting an icy spell over her Kingdom, she tucked herself away from the world… turned dark and cold…

Book by James Lapine, Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Everyone who has ever thought that fairy tale endings are just a bit too sunny will enjoy this tuneful, sophisticated, ironic, and darkly funny send-up of “Cinderella,” “Jack and the Beanstalk,” “Rapunzel,” and “Red Riding Hood” in which we learn to “Be Careful the Things You Say, Children Will Listen.” A Sondheim gem, the original Broadway production won the 1988 New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award and the Drama Desk Award for Best Musical; as well as a Grammy award for the original cast recording. The show was nominated for ten Tony Awards and won three including Best Score (Stephen Sondheim) and Best Book (James Lapine). Don’t miss it.
