San Jose Rep Theatre presents a World Premiere, Musical adaptation of THE SNOW QUEEN, Hans Christian Andersen's fantastical coming-of-age adventure. As you follow Gerda's journey through an unimaginably dangerous and whimsical world with singing flowers, a chattering crow and a talking river to save her friend, Kai, you'll realize this isn't your average bedtime story. An original pop rock score that propels a legend suffused with urban steam punk flair and the enigmatic Snow Queen, turn this traditional fairy tale into an epic quest. Check out a first look at the production below!

Not a typical Broadway musical, San Jose Repertory Theatre's world premiere of "The Snow Queen" is a unique experience. The Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale does not lend itself naturally to stage. Without its country-twanged score, San Jose's production could pass as a mere children's play. But the final product proves itself so much more. Although it takes time for the characters to pull their audience into the journey, the production's multitalented cast, raw sound and layered themes make it a musical to discuss and digest well after the ensemble bows.

Rick Lombardo, Kirsten Brandt and Haddon Kime's stunning new musical adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's classic coming-of-age fairy tale, The Snow Queen, makes it world premiere now through December 22 with San Jose Repertory Theatre.
