The Show
Eglė has always felt like she doesn’t quite fit in, stuck between daydreams of wild adventures and a family that just wants her to be normal. But everything changes the day she meets a mysterious talking snake in the forest.
Suddenly she’s whisked away into the weird and wonderful Serpent Kingdom, a place where snakes have sass, turtles throw disco parties, and even the flowers are geniuses. It’s a dizzying ride of fabulous fun and unexpected friendship.
But even in a kingdom this magical, something tugs at Eglė’s heart - the home and family she left behind. To truly find where she belongs, she must bring the two worlds together… before it’s too late.
Based on a classic Lithuanian fairytale, Queen of the Serpents is an enchanting new musical packed with original songs, playful humour, and a heart as bold as its heroine.
