Annabelle and the Snow Queen Express at Santa Monica Playhouse

Santa Monica Playhouse presents a brand new Rudie-DeCarlo Family Theatre Musical, ANNABELLE and the SNOW QUEEN EXPRESS, giving audiences a heart-warming perspective on fantasy and reality, sharing and caring, and the importance of family togetherness. A host of colorful Dickensian characters, led by a charmingly dotty old lady (or is she the Snow Queen in disguise?) are unceremoniously plunked into 2014, confronting the miracles and mysteries of modernity as they try to unthaw the frozen hearts of the MTV Generation and convince quirky teen Annabelle that you're never too old to believe in the magic of love and family. Come along on a topsy-turvy ride, featuring a magical train that actually moves, breathtaking Dickensian Steampunk costumes, and special effects that will transport you to an icy North Pole glitter freeze that can only be set right by joyous, warm hearted believers.
