Performance - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

A ballet based on the C.S.Lewis book The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

Based on the popular book by C.S. Lewis, and with original choreography, is set in the 1940s. The ballet begins when four siblings, Lucy, Edmund, Susan, and Peter, visit the Old Professor and discover an empty room with a large wardrobe. Young Lucy opens the wardrobe door and steps in. Her brother Edmund follows her as they find themselves in a wintery forest of the magical world of Narnia. A series of adventures begin that include an umbrella-carrying faun, an evil White Witch, a beaver couple, a kind-hearted lion, and myriad other characters. They, along with the siblings, engage in a mystical battle of good over evil. Although the White Witch traps Narnia in a seemingly endless winter, the great lion Aslan, merry Father Christmas and the promise of spring arriving brings beauty and hope to the holiday season.

Westword said “Norton’s adaptation of the beloved tale is nothing short of magical… Her choreography, rooted in classical ballet but infused with modern flair, brings the complex story to life on the stage.” And OnStage Colorado said “’The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’ is a visually delightful holiday ballet perfect for a family outing. Ballet Ariel presents a lovely adaptation of the story with gorgeous costumes, beautiful backdrops to set the stage and engaging choreography performed by the talented cast. The wintry setting and appearance of Father Christmas add to the holiday spirit.”
