"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" staged at Children's Theater Festival
“白雪公主和七个小矮人”在儿童剧院上演

China Children's Theater Festival continues into its second week, and this time they're taking the stage at the National Theater for the Peforming Arts.

From cartoons, to plays, to film adaptations, the story of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" remains one of the most popular children’s stories.

One of the draws of Snow White herself is that she embodies the ideal Chinese beauty: snow-white skin, red lips, and jet-black hair. Many famous Chinese actresses have emulated Snow White’s look and persona, including Gong Li, Fan Bing Bing, and Zhao Wei.

This week, kids get a chance to see the gorgeous Disney princess herself in a stage production at the prestigious National Center for the Performing Arts.

This performance of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" is part of the China Children's Theater Festival. Snow White is a story that transcends all ages, genders and cultures, because the moral of the story is that good will always win over bad.

Here’s a recap in case you’ve forgotten: It all starts with the evil witch, who has a magic mirror that tells her that Snow White is more beautiful than her, which prompts her to want to kill Snow White. In grave danger, seven forest dwarfs set out to protect Snow White using their own unique powers. However, the witch still finds the princess and gives her a poisonous apple, which kills her. Outraged and ready for revenge, the seven dwarfs bring down the evil witch and Snow White comes back to life!

But, of course, there’s a lot more entertaining moments in the story that deserve to be revisited in person. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs will be on at the NCPA until July 25th. There’s a lot more festival performances coming up, with the last event taking place on August 28th.
