FARCE/SPOOF. The laughs never end in this side-splitting version of “Snow White.” The King marries an evil makeup-loving queen who quickly sets out to rid herself of her stepdaughter, Snow White. The Queen summons her huntsman and blackmails him into killing Snow White by threatening to reveal his favorite pastime…sewing puppets and performing puppet shows. After all, no one wants an artistic huntsman! Unable to kill Snow White, the Huntsman comes up with a plan to disguise her: Snow White will stop shaving her mustache and he will smear mud on her face and give her a really bad haircut. Snow White decides she would rather hide out at a nearby cottage inhabited by seven filthy miners who desperately need help with cooking, cleaning, and dusting knickknacks. Thinking she has finally rid herself of Snow White, the Queen scampers off unaware that a prince and a pack of extremely large ferocious squirrels are roaming through the forest!
