The first and most famous story of The Chronicles of Narnia has become a musical presentation of this enchanted world filled with creatures and spirits of myth and fable, good and evil, demonic and transcendent. The principal inhabitants, however, are the intelligent talking animals ruled by the majestic King Aslan, the great lion of Narnia. Though Aslan is often absent from the land, he returns when the need for him is greatest. And entering Narnia at a moment of high adventure are some children—plucked from our world to help Narnia and to learn lessons of courage, unselfishness and wisdom from their odyssey. From the excitement of the opening song, your spirits will soar with all those in Narnia.
