W!LD RICE presents

Once upon a time in the Eternal Kingdom, there lived a Queen who wanted everything and everyone to be perfect. So, when her subjects turn 18, they are sent for “Enhancement”—a programme to correct their flaws.

The Queen holds a beauty pageant every year where she crowns herself as the winner. One day, her Magic Mirror, who cannot lie without literally cracking up, reveals to her that a new beauty has come of age—her own step-daughter Snow White.

Poor Snow White is ordered to undergo a nip-tuck by the creepy Royal Surgeon. But she runs away to the Outer Limits, where she encounters junk, vermin and the rapping, breakdancing Seven Dwarfs—outcasts banished from the Kingdom for falling short of the Queen’s standards.

Will Snow White escape from the Queen’s manicured clutches? Will her Prince Charming recognise true love in her bad hair state? And will the Queen ever stop coming up with new titles for herself and finally retire?

W!LD RICE's new pantomime is a hilarious, heart-warming musical comedy about keeping it real. With side-splitting gags, snazzy song and dance routines and sumptuous sets and costumes, Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs is the “perfect” show to put you and your loved ones in the holiday mood this Christmas. Make your appointment now for an unforgettable experience that will put a grin on your face, a spring in your step, and a song in your heart!

The Queen rules over the Eternal Kingdom, where everybody is perfect - or tries very hard to be. When they turn 18, her subjects undergo a process called 'Enhancement', where they are sponsored to fix their flaws. In the Kingdom, it's a crime to be ugly!
