My Fairytale is a musical about the legendary Danish author Hans Christian Andersen. It's an enchanted journey into the imagination of one of the world's greatest storytellers -- a place of wonder, mystery, and danger -- where Andersen confronts the characters from his fairytales. My Fairytale was originally produced in Denmark in 2005 in honor of the bi-centennial of Hans Christian Andersen's birth.

Stephen Schwartz remarked, "I've always felt that Solvang was the perfect place to present My Fairytale. The fact that this show will now be produced in celebration of Solvang's centennial makes it seem even more special to me."
