The first book in C.S. Lewis’s “The Chronicles of Narnia” has become a musical exploring the mythical land’s creatures and spirits, both good and evil. Narnia’s principal inhabitants are intelligent talking animals ruled by King Aslan, the great lion of Narnia. Though Aslan is often absent from the land, he returns when the need is greatest. Three children enter Narnia at a moment of high adventure to learn courage, selflessness and wisdom.
