rules and doesn’t want to listen to good advice from her friends. Based on
the beloved Hans Christian Andersen tale, the CYT original version of this
story has a happier ending, but still includes the wicked Sea Witch, Octavia

Cha, is a Latina lobster with a fiery spirit who tries to keep the lovesick
mermaid from dangerous mistakes. Come take a dive into a land beneath the sea!

magic of a child’s imagination. Based on C.S. Lewis’ children’s fable The
Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe ,the musical Narnia
follows four curious British children who climb into a musty old wardrobe
and discover the magical Kingdom of Narnia, where animals can talk and magical
things happen. The icy White Witch has taken over the land and has transformed
Narnia into a frozen place where it is always winter, but never Christmas.
With the help of Aslan, Narnia’s wise and rightful leader, the children
stand up to her in a battle of good versus evil, and hope and sunshine are
restored throughout all of Narnia. Their Narnia odyssey teaches them lessons
of courage, unselfishness and wisdom. After all, once a king or queen of
Narnia, always a king or queen of Narnia.
