SNOW WHITE & THE SEVEN DWARFS

16 Nov – 23 Dec 2023

Wild Rice @ Funan

Not so far away, in the Eternal Kingdom, lives a Queen who wants everything and everyone to be perfect – just not as perfect as her. So, when her subjects turn 18, they are sent for “Enhancement” – a programme to correct their flaws.

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. Seething with jealousy, the Queen orders the girl to undergo a nip-tuck by the creepy Royal Surgeon.

To save her own skin, Snow White runs away to the Outer Limits, where she meets and befriends a host of misfits and outcasts – including the rapping, breakdancing Seven Dwarfs, who have been banished from the Kingdom for falling short of the Queen’s impossibly high standards.

Will the Queen’s relentless pursuit of perfection ever end? Will Prince Charming find his true love amongst the piles of trash in the Outer Limits? And can Snow White find a way to keep it real while saving herself, her friends and the Kingdom from the Queen’s diabolical control? 

15 years after its world premiere, Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs makes a triumphant return to the Wild Rice stage with a brand-new cast led by Chua Enlai as the Queen and Nadya Zaheer as Snow White. With a cheekily satirical script by Alfian Sa’at and catchy original music by Elaine Chan, this hilarious, heartwarming musical comedy is the perfect show for the whole family. Join us at the theatre this holiday season for an unforgettable experience that will put a grin on your face, a spring in your step, and a song in your heart!

Duration: approximately 2 hours 50 minutes (with a 20 minute intermission)

Reviews

“Smart, sassy and satirical... with enough good, clean fun for the whole family. The result is an enjoyable show with plenty of heart and some inspired musical touches... Just take the whole family.”

The Straits Times

“A witty and satirical plot interspersed with healthy doses of humour and political innuendo... this timely, enjoyable [musical comedy] will put you in a merry mood!”

The Sunday Times

“With a wave of his wand (his pen), playwright Alfian Sa’at has successfully transformed a harmless fairy tale into a tongue-in-cheek modern-day Singaporean allegory... a hoot [that] proved to be engrossing enough for kids even as it dished out naughty allusions on the country’s political climate left and right.”

TODAY

“If you are looking for the best play in the land, Wild Rice’s Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs definitely comes within the top contenders… a light-hearted, satirical, entertaining piece fit for all ages.”

ArtZine Singapore

“It is refreshing to see Alfian’s rebellious, sardonic persona peek through the litany of hook-driven melodies and slick dance moves, lending this zany, messy musical a slightly devilish streak that is more than just typical pantomime subversion.”
