Description:

The first and most famous story of The Chronicles of Narnia has become a musical presentation of this unique, enchanted world filled with creatures and spirits of myth and fable, both good and evil. Four children, sent away for protection during World War II, discover an enchanted wardrobe, and through it find passageway to the wintry world of Narnia. As Lucy, Edmund, Susan, and Peter learn from the mythical and talking animals of this land, they are ruled by the majestic King Aslan, the great lion. Though Aslan is often absent from the land (so that his very existence is doubted by some), he returns when the need for him is greatest. The four children learn from their Narnia odyssey lessons of courage, unselfishness and wisdom that will help them grow. This beloved story, inspired by the gospel message of Jesus, will alight your spirit this winter!

Characters:

Aslan

The king of Narnia. The noble lion sacrifices his life so that the Witch will spare Edmund. After being resurrected the next morning, Aslan rises and defeats the White Witch once and for all. In the context of the story's Christian allegory, Aslan represents Jesus Christ.

White Witch

The false queen of Narnia. She wields a wand that turns creatures and people to stone. An embodiment of evil. Cold, manipulative, and cruel.

Peter Pevensie

Peter is the oldest of the Pevensie children, and he is noble and courageous. He matures into a young man during his first few days in Narnia as he learns to lead his siblings. During his ultimate reign as the High King of Narnia he is known as King Peter the Magnificent.

Susan Pevensie

The second oldest of the Pevensie children. Sweet and kind, and perhaps a little bland. When she becomes queen at Cair Paravel, she is known as Queen Susan the Gentle.

Edmund Pevensie

The third oldest Pevensie child, Edmund is a brat for most of the story. Edmund is spiteful and mean, and likes to tease his sister, Lucy. His greed for the enchanted Turkish Delight leads him to act as a traitor against his siblings. Edmund joins forces with the White Witch, but eventually sees the error of his ways and returns to the good side. Becomes known as King Edmund the Just.

Lucy Pevensie

The youngest Pevensie is cheerful, kind, and brave. This curious, happy-go-lucky, optimistic girl is the first of the children to venture into Narnia. She is known as Queen Lucy the Valiant.

Tumnus

A faun who initially works for the White Witch, but has a change of heart when he befriends Lucy. He makes a mean cup of tea and misses the Narnia that existed before the White Witch's reign.

Professor Kirke

Professor Kirke is a slightly eccentric, elderly professor. He takes care of the Pevensie children so they can escape the air raids in London during World War II. Wise and open-minded, he helps Peter and Susan understand that Narnia may indeed exist.

Mr. Beaver

Mr. Beaver is Tumnus's friend. Warm and welcoming to the Pevensies, and longs for Aslan's return.

Mrs. Beaver

Mr. Beaver's wife. Mrs. Beaver is kindly, good-natured, motherly, and a good cook.

Dwarf

The dwarf is one of the Witch's evil henchman and is her right-hand man.

Maugrim

Maugrim is a wolf and the chief of the Witch's Secret Police.

Father Christmas
