Adapted from C.S. Lewis’s beloved novel that inspired the 2005 film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe—a $745M global sensation and Disney’s fifth-largest opening at the time—this production reimagines the magic and adventure of the story that captivated millions. Don’t miss this epic tale brought vividly to life on stage!

Storyline

During a game of hide-and-seek, four siblings stumble upon a wardrobe that leads to the enchanting world of Narnia—a land trapped in an endless winter under the rule of the icy White Witch. As they explore, they meet talking creatures, uncover ancient prophecies, and find themselves at the center of a brewing rebellion. With the noble lion Aslan poised to return and the White Witch’s grip beginning to falter, the Pevensies must navigate betrayal, courage, and an epic battle between good and evil. But as the forces of Narnia collide, a fateful decision changes everything. Will they rise as heroes or succumb to the Witch’s icy grip?
