This is based on the classic fairytale Snow White by the Brothers Grimm, and puts a broad comedic spin on the familiar story.

Queen Clementian­na (Julia Roberts) has her sights set on the throne and hunky Prince Andrew Alcott (Armie Hammer), and she cannot take the risk that Snow White (Lily Collins) will steal her thunder.

So with the help of her bumbling man servant Brighton (Nathan Lane), the scheming monarch banishes Snow White to the forest, where she expects the pretty orphan to be easy pickings for carnivorou­s monsters.

Thankfully, Snow White is rescued from certain death by seven plucky dwarves, who teach the young woman to fend for herself in a cruel and unforgivin­g world.

Armed with her new skills, Snow White returns to the court to reclaim the throne, banish Clementian­na and win the heart of the dashing prince.

This magical comedy filled with jealousy, romance, and betrayal that will capture the hearts and imaginatio­ns of audiences young and old.

It’s on at the Futurist.
