Step into the enchanted West Oxford Wood as Snow takes you on a journey where ancient forest magic meets a world of image-enhancing technology.
Standing in her way is Queen Narcissa and her all-knowing mirror, MiRi, whose hunger for power and endless admiration fuels her contempt for the natural world. When the glamorous queen discovers a magical resource that preserves her beauty, she becomes determined to mine every last piece of the forest.
Can Snow and some unlikely friends outwit the Queen and restore the balance? With dazzling dance numbers, spectacular songs and plenty of hilarious jokes, it’s one adventure you won’t want to miss.
