Snow White

Let your children experience the power of inner beauty as they go on an exciting adventure with Snow White to the cottage of the dwarfs in this unique retelling of the original classic. Watch as your children become Snow White’s animal friends or one of her seven little buddies and sing and dance interactive songs that teach them about making work fun, remembering by repetition and association, and making the best of a difficult situation.

Pocahontas

Follow the Indian Princess on a wonderful journey, loosely based on the historical characters of Pocahontas and Captain John Smith. As they become members of the Algonquin tribe and Pocahontas’ animal friends in this interactive adventure, your children will learn about appreciating, sharing and taking care of our earth; understanding and accepting cultural differences, and having the courage to stand up for your beliefs. Colorful sing-along, move-along songs allow audience members to participate in Native American dances, learn some simple sign language, and play Native American musical instruments.

Beauty & Beast Christmas

Step inside the classic Beauty and the Beast adventure to share Belle’s heartwarming first Christmas at the Beast’s castle. In this Gift of the Magistyle story, audience members become Belle’s animal friends to help her adjust to her life at the castle and to help her flower friends, Mum and Daisy, teach the Beast the true meaning of unselfish love, friendship and inner beauty. Interactive songs include "All Alone," in which Belle and her animal friends share their remedies for fighting fear and loneliness and a trellis building number that allows the children to help Belle construct a Christmas present for the Beast.

Tarzan & Jane

Step into Jane’s diary and relive her musical jungle adventure with Tarzan and friends. In both of these lively, exciting interactive tales, your children will become jungle animals who join Tarzan and Jane on a "Rockin’ Safari," where they learn about accepting differences and understanding the true meaning of friendship. Reinforced by songs, including the signing "Be My Friend," the 2-character version focuses on accepting friends as they are, and learning from one another’s differences. With the addition of Tarzan’s adoptive gorilla parents in the 4-character adaptation, the story expands to include step-family relationship issues as well.

Aladdin/Princess

Join the Princess (or Aladdin) on a whirlwind quest with the Genie to find friends and fun far away from her father’s overprotective rule. Frustrated by her life confined to the palace, the princess invites audience marketplace children to help her find the lamp and wish herself into adventures that her father never let her have. The action is non-stop as the children fly on 'Magic Stuff' to the cave of the lamp, where they pick up the Genie; to the beach, where they go "Swimming in the Sea," with various creatures, and to the jungle, where they "Monkey Around" with the apes. The Princess is so preoccupied with getting all the excitement she feels she deserves, that she ignores the warnings of her father and the Genie and finds herself in trouble. She eventually learns some valuable lessons about listening to the wisdom of parents, thinking before you act, and being careful what you wish for.

Beauty & the Beast

Join Belle and the Beast in this heartwarming and humorous retelling of the beloved fairy tale classic. Watch your children make the story come to life as they become forest animal friends, and through colorful interactive songs, help to distract Belle from her fear of ugly things, help her find her way through the storm, and help her to adjust her new life at the Beast’s castle. Guided by Belle and the comical flowers, Mum and Daisy, the children also help the Beast to understand the meaning of true, unselfish love, enabling him to break the spell and become a prince once again.
