| Synopsis: |
| "Toys" is a brand new family musical which takes its inspiration from Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker." In a modern day setting, it tells the story of Victoria, a fifteen year old orphan, who, disillusioned by real life and her experience of it, disappears into a dream world of living toys - which unbeknownst to her hold the key to her survival of her adult. |
