The Little Match Girl, the iconic story by Hans Christian Anderson, comes to life in this brand new musical adaptation, set to a contemporary score filled with soaring melodies.
A poor lonely girl is forced out on the streets by her cruel father on New Year's Eve to sell matches. Cold and alone, with few prospective customers she has to decide between warmth and her father's wrath. Her decision takes on her on a magical journey.
?“While modernizing this timeless classic, I intend to uplift the tragic story of the Little Match Girl, while staying true to the story and Victorian era costumes and scenery,” says director Greg Ganakas. “Through magical realism, she conjures up images of her family in the most cherished times of her life, offering hope in her time of need. As theater offers escapism, so does the imagination captured by this little girl, and therefore we lose ourselves in her journey.”
