A person wearing a white fur-collared coat, wide-leg trousers, silver boots, and a crown sits on a suitcase while holding a silver staff. Behind them is a clothing rack filled with fur coats. To the left is a stack of old books and two vintage lamps, and to the right is a wooden chair with patterned blankets and a basket. The background is dark blue with white specks resembling stars.

From the creators behind the Dora Award–winning Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland, this brand new musical by the acclaimed Bad Hats Theatre reimagines one of literature’s most beloved stories.

In a snowy world held captive by a powerful witch, four children—Lucy, Edmund, Susan, and Peter—tumble through an ordinary wardrobe and discover that imagination, loyalty, and courage can defy even the most fearsome of foes.

A magical experience for both the young and the young at heart, Narnia upholds the Bad Hats’ tradition of inventive and uplifting original musical theatre — reminding us all that adventure lies anywhere we dare to look beyond the everyday.


A dynamic force in the city’s arts community, [Bad Hats] is consistently delivering productions that are both thought-provoking and entertaining.
