About this Event

Get ready to be enchanted by The Light Princess, a new musical adaptation of the beloved fairytale that promises to captivate audiences of all ages - featuring beautiful songs, interactive antics, and an inspiring story of self-discovery.

The Princess floats. She always has. The Queen worries about keeping her little girl’s feet on the ground but all the Princess wants is to fly free. When the Princess meets Orla, a little girl with big ideas, the two recognise a spark in one another – the unstoppable desire for change. Together they melt the heart of a frozen kingdom.

Brought to life by LAStheatre, The Light Princess shines with stunning video by BAFTA award-winning designer David Newton, a poppy electronic score from Eleanor Isherwood (Unicorn & Peut-Être Theatre) and magical set and costumes by Sean Turner (Secret Cinema, Les Enfant Terribles & Old Vic).

A LAStheatre production commissioned by ARC Stockton and The Albany and generously supported by Arts Council England.

Every seat on floor level and the first row on our seating rake is accessible to those who require a wheelchair space, an ambulant seat, or those who don’t have any access requirements. Thus, they will be bookable under the same ticket type and unreserved. When buying your tickets, we ask you to declare if you have any access requirements at the checkout so we can reserve any seats or space for those who need them.

Family shows will have space for floor seating in front of the seating rake for little ones to get closer to the action.
