Laguna Playhouse A Snow White Christmas

On Thursday, December 3, 2015 Amy and I were excited to attend the opening night of a very special holiday event, A Snow White Christmas.

Lythgoe Family Productions presents an updated version of the classic tale, A Snow White Christmas at Laguna Playhouse in Laguna Beach. This entertaining musical peformance was performed in the style of a traditional British family Panto which brought an evening of family-friendly magic, with a comedic twist, dancing with “So You Think You Can Dance” alumni, a live miniature pony and contemporary music. Panto is known for its interactive style and humor that appeals to everyone, kids and adults!

A Snow White Christmas was directed by Chris Baldock with choreography by Spencer Liff.

A Snow White Christmas began previews on Wednesday, December 2, with their official opening night on Thursday, December 3, 2015 at 7:30pm and will run through Sunday, December 27, 2015 at the Laguna Playhouse, 606 Laguna Canyon Road in Laguna Beach.

Performances will be Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays at 7:30pm; Saturdays at 12pm: 4pm & 7:30pm, Sundays at 12pm & 4:00pm. There will be additional performances on Tuesday, December 15 at 7:30; Thursday, December 17 at 2:00pm & Thursday, December 24 at 12:00pm & 4:00pm. There will be no performance on Wednesday, December 16.

Be sure to come prepared for an interactive evening of family fun! Pantos are interactive shows. You are encouraged to sing, shout, and participate! If you sit in the first few rows, you may even possibly get a little wet during the show!
