A fiendish mirror, crafted by the Devil himself, distorts all that is good into ugliness and absurdity. When it shatters, its shards fall upon the human world, where the children Kay and Gerda share a profound friendship. However, when a splinter from the mirror lodges in Kay's eye, it transforms his joy and enthusiasm for life into disdain and calculating cynicism. His cold pride summons the Snow Queen herself, who entices him with her icy kisses and embrace. Suddenly, Kay disappears from Gerda, and no one knows his whereabouts.

Moesgaard transforms into a frozen landscape as Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved fairytale returns in a spectacular family production.

A magic mirror, crafted by the Devil, distorts everything beautiful, making it appear ugly and ridiculous. When the mirror shatters, its splinters rain down upon the world, where childhood friends Kay and Gerda share a deep and loving bond. But when a tiny shard lodges itself in Kay’s eye, his joy and warmth turn to scorn and cold-hearted cynicism. His newfound arrogance catches the attention of the Snow Queen herself, who lures him away with icy kisses and an irresistible embrace. Suddenly, Kay vanishes—without a trace.

This year's musical highlight at the Royal Danish Theatre is Billy Elliot, the story of a boy named Billy growing up in a harsh mining community, who dreams of becoming a ballet dancer. A both heartwarming and inspiring tale about daring to make one's dream come true and having the courage to be oneself.

In the mid-1970s, the celebrated partnership of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice – also the creators of The Phantom of the Opera, Cats and Jesus Christ Superstar – set music and lyrics to the story of a woman who both divided opinion and attained near-mythic status in post-war Argentina. Over the five decades that followed, Evita travelled from the West End to Broadway and onwards to stages across the globe, collecting accolades, Tony Awards and millions of ticket sales along the way.
