Salisbury Playhouse, part of Wiltshire Creative, today anounces Snow White and the Happy Ever After Beauty Salon by Mike Akers as their festive family show opening on 8 December, with previews from 3 December, and running until 31 December. Directed by Gareth Machin, with music by Tayo Akinbode, lyrics by Mike Akers, and additional songs by Christopher Peake, the production enables Wiltshire Creative to share Christmas cheer with audiences this year following a revised performance plan; and 2022 will see the return of the full scale pantomime Cinderella.

In a magical 1950s fairytale wonderland, young apprentice Snow is working hard in her Aunt Trish’s Beauty Salon. She curls the tails of the three little pigs, sharpens the teeth of the Big Bad Wolf, and perfectly sets Prince Charming’s quiff. But, suddenly stumbling upon Aunt Trish’s magic mirror puts Snow’s life in peril. Will she be able to survive as she heads underground and attempts to carve her own path to a happily ever after? With toe-tapping live music, dazzling design, puppetry and laugh out loud entertainment, the show will delight the whole family this Christmas.
