The production brings the story to the stage with vivid visual design, staged effects and music, making it a strong choice if you are looking for a large-scale musical with a clear story at its centre.

It is an internationally celebrated musical, and its appeal lies in the combination of familiar Disney storytelling and theatre production values.
