ounding artistic director Victoria lus decided to use the original play that was drafted in 1913 to base this ballet off of so it still has those like amazing well-known characters that we love but it's based off that original tale which is really cool excellent and Lucy you know bringing this to life on the stage what is it like uh you know you're practicing you're bringing a character to life without saying a word it's definitely challenging not to be able to speak but it just kind of pushes y
ou to dive deeper into that character and to figure out how they would move how they would enter a room or how they would command on the stage what's your favorite scene in this so far um I play the evil queen so I think my favorite scene so far is definitely um the Brewing of The Cauldron and making the poison apple and laying out my plan to um kind of you know put an end to Snow White that is amazing you play the villain which I think sometimes can be more fun right exactly so this is a family
