Introduction

Adapted from the Hans Christian Andersen tale, Thumbelina is the story of an extraordinarily tiny girl and her adventures with marriage-minded toads, moles, and beetles. She successfully avoids their intentions before falling in love with a flower-fairy prince just her size. Our Christmas show extravaganza combines music and mayhem in miniature for the whole family in a new interpretation of a classic fairy tale.
