Walt Disney is going to make the school break a memorable time for Thai children with its brand new performance "Disney Live! Presents Three Classic Fairy Tales", which will be staged at the Royal Paragon Hall of Siam Paragon from Oct 28-Nov 2. The showtime is 7pm daily, plus a 3pm show on Thu-Sun and a 11am matinee on Sat-Sun.
This time the show will render triple joy as it will feature the stories of three beloved princesses in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast.
Taken through the classic tales by Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Donald Duck, the audience will follow Snow White as she battles with the wicked witch and searches for her one true love; Cinderella, who has to cope with her evil stepmother and stepsisters and is getting ready for her magical night at the ball; and Belle as she finds eternal happiness with an unexpected true love in an enchanted castle.
Proving a success at its debut in Shanghai, China, the show is one of the most intimate Disney experiences that has ever been produced. The audience is guaranteed to be inspired by the quality of the performances, mesmerised by the stunning costumes and songs.
Once the curtains are drawn back to reveal the newest stage show experience, the audiences will find themselves on an enchanted adventure journeying through the awe-inspiring stories of the three classic tales.
The show begins when Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy embark on an unexpected quest and find a magical storybook hidden in Mickey's attic.
The four pals curiously turn the pages and discover Snow White as she searches for her one true love, Cinderella getting ready for her magical night at the ball and Belle as she finds happiness in the most unusual place.
Along the way, the audience will be invited to join in the fun by solving clues, clapping along and singing time-honoured songs such as Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo, Heigh Ho and Be Our Guest.
Mickey, Minnie and more than 25 of their Disney pals will make appearances during this live performance where moments from each story magically come alive to create an unforgettable experience for kids and adults alike.
Produced by Feld Entertainment, this show is anchored amidst a transforming set, captivating choreography, innovative lighting and breathtaking costumes; all created to treat families to an authentically woven tale of happily ever after.
The uniquely constructed set is witnessed from the very first scene at Mickey's attic. It transforms into an enchanted forest where audiences meet Snow White as she wishes at a well and they also encounter the Seven Dwarfs traipsing throughout the lush woods on their way to work.
The set then transforms into a brilliant castle where Cinderella first lays eyes on Prince Charming. Finally the set is converted into a quaint town in France where the story of Beauty and the Beast unfolds.
Beyond highlighting the elaborate set and stunning costumes, the lights also catapult the show toward the cutting edge of technology. The performers have sensors attached to their costumes so that the lights can automatically follow wherever they move.
Glittering embellishments are also threaded together to give the performers standout garments that sparkle and shimmer under the show lights by using lavish layers, exotic trimmings and yards of flowing fabric.
For Mickey and his pals, the enchanted storybook becomes a place full of wondrous adventure; and for audiences, the grand performance is where they will share in laughter, singing, dancing and family fun.
