SCENE

QUEEN’S CHAMBER. PALACE.

NARRATOR: Once upon a time there lived a lovely little Princess named Snow White. Her
vain and wicked stepmother the Queen feared that someday Snow White’s
beauty would surpass her own. So she dressed the little Princess in rags and
forced her to work as a Scullery Maid. Each day the vain Queen consulted her
Magic Mirror, “Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?”... And
as long as the Mirror answered, “You are the fairest one of all”, Snow White
was safe from the Queen’s cruel jealousy.

QUEEN: (ENTER)

Slave in the Magic Mirror,

Come from the farthest space.

Through wind and darkness I summon thee. (HOWLING WIND)

Speak! (THUNDERCLAP) Let me see thy face.

MAGIC MIRROR: (FACE APPEARS) What wouldst thou know, my queen?

QUEEN: Magic Mirror on the wall,

Who is the fairest one of all?

MAGIC MIRROR: Famed is thy beauty, Majesty but hold, a lovely maid I see.

Rags cannot hide her gentle grace. Alas, she is far more fair than thee.

QUEEN: Alas for her! Reveal her name.

MAGIC MIRROR: Lips red as the rose. Hair black as ebony. Skin white as snow.

QUEEN: (ANGRILY) Snow White! (STRIKES THE GONG)

HUNTSMAN: (ENTER)

QUEEN: Take her far into the forest. Find some secluded glade where she can pick
wild flowers.
HUNTSMAN: Yes, Your Majesty.

QUEEN: And there, my faithful huntsman, you will kill her!

HUNTSMAN: But, Your Majesty, the little Princess!

QUEEN: Silence! You know the penalty if you fail.

HUNTSMAN: Yes, Your Majesty.

QUEEN: But to make doubly sure you do not fail, bring back her heart in this. (HOLDS

(CHUCKILING)

(TO THE RABBITS) I can’t sleep in the ground like you, (TO THE SQUIRRELS) or
in a tree the way you do. (TO THE BIRDS) And I’m sure no nest would possibly
be big enough for me. Maybe you know where I can stay. In the woods
somewhere?

too bad. I know! We’ll clean the house and surprise them. Then maybe they’ll
let me stay.

BIRDS: (TWITTERING)

SNOW WHITE: (HANGS UP HER CLOAK. TO THE SQUIRRELS) Now, you wash the dishes.

Imagine that the broom

Is someone that you love and soon

You’ll find you’re dancing to the tune

DWARFS COTTAGE. YODELLING AND DANCING.

SNOW WHITE: (WATCHING THE DWARFS DANCE. CLAPPING)

DOC: (SINGING) I’d like to dance

And tap my feet

Bt they won’t keep in rhythm

You see I washed them both today

And I can’t do nothin’ with’em

ALL: Ho-hum, the tune is dumb

The words don’t mean a thing

Isn’t this a silly song for anyone to sing?

DWARFS: (LAUGHING)

BASHFUL: (SINGING) I (BLUSHING) Oh, gosh!

I chased a polecat up a tree

Way out upon a limb

And when he got the best of me

I got the worst of him (LAUGHING BURIES HIS FACE IN HIS BEARD)

ALL: Ho-hum, the tune is dumb

The words don’t mean a thing

Isn’t this a silly song for anyone to sing?
