Magical Musical Fantasy For Children At Kingdom Of Dreams

Then begins a saga where witches dance and scare, sniff and play. They turn some of the children into mice and plan to kill them. But a few children with the help of the hotel owners overpower these witches and kill them. And they also change the mice into children again by pouring a magic potion they had snatched from the witches into a drum, along with the mice.

They manage to rescue the children!

Even though, the performances are overshadowed by too much dance and drama and overpowering technology - LED backdrop walls, side wings, LED framed walls that transform the entire ambience into different settings, Dubey feels an "opportunity" like this enhances the essence of production.

"In India we have this tendency to deny the power of technology. We believe that less is very good. But when I have the privilege to utilise this technology, why not marry theatre aesthetics with technology," Dubey told IANS.

Admitting that this production is a grand departure from her own signature directorial graph - minimalistic production - she says the objective was to make children "fearless" and lay out a red carpet for them.

It is the third in the series of stage shows produced by Kingdom of Dreams after Bollywood musicals "Zangoora: The Gypsy Prince" and "Jhumroo - Jhoomo Nacho Gao".

Delhi-based designer Nida Mahmood has designed the costumes for this show and it won't be wrong to say that her trademark, pop and funky play with colours, comes alive on the stage.

But it is the witches who steal the show with their energetic performance, voice modulation, brilliant make-up and not-to-forget their neon-pink bat flaps and attire.
