The Queen opens the play: "I'm the Queen. I'm beautiful. (to the audience) Don't you think

I'm beautiful? And I'm wicked. No one is more beautiful and more wicked than I am. (to

her Mirror) Right?" The Mirror replies: "Yes, Oh Repulsive and Ravishing Queen."

Gratified, she smirks with pleasure.

" . . . A favorite of the children was the unseennarrator, who also spoke the part of the

wicked Queen's magical talking Mirror.

Created so that he could only tell the truth,

the Mirror brought screams of delight from

the audience every time he addressed the

Queen as 'Oh, Loathsome One,' or 'Oh,

Beautiful and Hateful One' . . . the Queen . . .

elicited boos and hisses from the audience, as

well as applause, when the Mirror informed

her that Snow White was the 'fairest one of

all.'" - Cadkin, Chicago Tribune

The jealous Queen, vowing to rid herself of "Miss goody-goody Snow White" once and for

all, sends the girl off into the forest with the Huntsman, bidding him to "put an end to

her." Despite his fear of the Queen's powers,

the Huntsman cannot bring himself to obey

her command, and he takes the Princess to

the home of the seven Dwarfs, who vow to

protect her.

However, when the Mirror says that Snow

White is still the fairest one of all, the Queendeclares that this time she'll take care of the

matter herself. She transforms herself into an old beggar woman, and tricks Snow White

into biting into a poison apple. As she gloats over her sleeping victim, the Dwarfs arrive.

Gathering around the Queen, they force her

to take a bite of her poison apple, cheering

when she cries: "What have you done? This

means I'll be an old hag forever!" After she

runs off, they gather around Snow White,

sobbing. But then her Prince arrives and

awakens her. Smiling through tears of joy, the

Dwarfs wave goodbye as Snow White and her

Prince go off together to his kingdom.



" . . . Snow White isn't the only one who's cast under a spell . . . (in) . . . the fairy tale classic

. . . So are the children who come to see her. They squeal with delight when the seven

Dwarfs do a dance; hiss . . . at the wicked

witch, and sit in suspense to see if the

Prince's kiss will awaken the sleeping

heroine . . . " - Pilat, Chicago Sun-Times
