Narnia: The Musical

Narnia: The Musical is a dramatization of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the first and most famous of acclaimed British author C.S. Lewis's world-renowned series, The Chronicles of Narnia. It tells of four English schoolchildren — brothers and sisters — sent away from London during World War II to stay in the manor house of their uncle, who stumble upon and through a wardrobe into the magical kingdom of Narnia, held in the power of the White Witch, whose evil spell has frozen the land so that it is "always winter — and never Christmas." They are embraced by the talking animals, the good Narnians who resist the Witch's evil and await the return of Aslan — the Great Lion, who is their rightful ruler. Aslan, who has long been absent from his land (so that some have even doubted his existence) has — at last — returned, to confront the Witch, and the children are soon caught up in a fierce struggle of good versus evil. The production is presented by West Virginia Public Theatre at the Canady Creative Arts Center in Morgantown, WV.
