The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, a magical new musical inspired by Goethe’s classic poem and immortalised in the Disney animation Fantasia, comes to HOME for the festive season.
West End star Emma Salvo and Olivier Award Nominee Sophie-Louise Dann take on the leading roles in the enchanting family show, which runs at HOME from Fri 27 Nov – Sat 2 Jan.
Set against the backdrop of the Northern Lights, a small town is pushed to the brink of collapse in a bid for progress and prosperity. The fate of Midgard falls to the sorcerer and his apprentice Eva, with the pair facing a race against time to figure out how to make magic together and prevent certain catastrophe.
The gender-swapped twist on the classic tale is brought to life by a cast of ten, and was first seen in an earlier digital version that won worldwide acclaim upon its release in 2021, being described as ‘Utterly enchanting in every way‘ by Theatre Weekly.
This latest retelling features direction by the celebrated Kirk Jameson (Madagascar The Musical, Song from Far Away) and stunning new music by the award-winning Alexander S. Bermange (I Wish My Life Were Like A Musical).
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice comes to HOME Fri 27 Nov – Sat 2 Jan. Tickets are on sale now. Book yours using the button below.
