In a faraway magical kingdom, the beautiful but lonely Princess, Snow White (Hayley-Jo Murphy), is forced by the cruel Queen, to work as a maid in their enormous palace. The Queen is attractive (in an older lady that looks after herself kind of way!) and very vain, needing a daily dose of praise from her far too opinionated, Magic Mirror.

Suddenly, the day dawns that Mirror dares to suggest the younger, thinner, more fresh-faced Snow White is now the “fairest in the land”…and no amount of botox, serum or fake tan is going to change it this time!

Intent on banishing her stepdaughter from the Kingdom forever, Snow White is taken deep into the forest. However, despite the jealous Queen’s cruel intentions, this is just the beginning of our heroine’s adventure!

Expect all the magic of this traditional tale….with a contemporary twist! A Princess….and a Pop Band (of the “boy” variety!) – this is Snow White as you have never seen it before!

SNOW WHITE Starring Katherine Lynch as the Wicked Queen. Also starring Richie Hayes, Dayl Cronin, Hayley-Jo Murphy, Myles Breen, Richard Lynch, Tom O’Mahony & David Crowley.
