"Snow White - An Enchanting Musical" Premieres February 22 at DisneylandŽ Park

Snow White was loved from the moment audiences first met her in 1937.

"Snow White - An Enchanting Musical," a new musical that brings to life the characters, the songs, and the story of one of the most beloved of all of Walt Disney's animated features, premieres February 22 at the Fantasyland Theatre at Disneyland park.

The production, a live 28-minute adaptation of the film, is the most elaborate stage show to be produced exclusively for the Fantasyland Theatre. It will delight families and immerse park guests in the fun, romance, humor, adventure and magic of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," which features some of the best known songs and characters of any Disney story, including Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy, Bashful and Dopey, first introduced in 1937. 

The score, with music and lyrics by Frank Churchill and Larry Morey, is one of the best known of any musical. "Whistle While You Work," "I'm Wishing," "One Song," "Heigh Ho," "The Washing Song (Bluddle-Uddle-Um-Dum)," "The Silly Song" and "Some Day My Prince Will Come" will all be performed in this new production. 
Matt Ouimet, President of Disneyland Resort said, "Fantasyland is the home to beloved characters like Alice in Wonderland, Sleeping Beauty, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Peter Pan, and Mr. Toad, and our theatre is next to Mickey's Toontown, home of Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald, Pluto and Goofy. When the Fantasyland Theatre and 'Snow White' were picked for our next musical, we were keenly aware of the entertainment wishes of families who spend much of their day in that area of Disneyland." 

"Snow White - An Enchanting Musical" has been created as a piece of theatre for families with younger children. When Anne Hamburger, Executive Vice President of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Creative Entertainment, assembled the team for the production of "Snow White," she took into account the changes in style and pace of theatrical entertainments in the 66 years since the original release of "Snow White," as well as the tremendous legacy and popularity that the film has created. Hamburger said, "In creating this production, we were aware of having to bring a storytelling style that current audiences have come to expect of stage musicals, as well as to fully create the world of 'Snow White' for the stage."

The "Snow White" production team is comprised of experienced professionals with many credits to their names in the fields of artistic direction, choreography, scenery design, casting, and more. The team is led by one of musical theatre's most important new figures, Eric Schaeffer, who has directed more than 20 musical productions.

Ouimet said, "Our goal is to bring extraordinary talents - talents that have both made their reputations on Broadway and in the theatre, and talents that have created some of the most spectacular attractions here at Disneyland - to the making of a musical experience that brings to life one of our company's most beloved stories for all families - and the child in all of us."
"Snow White" is one of the earliest and most known American musicals to combine its score and choreography into the telling of the story and the characters, predating such classics as "The Wizard of Oz," "Oklahoma!," "Meet Me in St. Louis," and "Annie Get Your Gun." 

Be sure to include Disneyland, "The Happiest Place on Earth," on your next visit to the Disneyland Resort. It's a whole new world of magic, especially "Snow White - An Enchanting Musical." For more information, please call 714.781.4565 or visit http://www.disneyland.com.
