Thou, O Queen, art the fairest of all!

[Mirror hides, Reflection reveals self]

she grew more beautiful.
By age seven, she was more beautiful
than the Queen herself!
Evil Queen:
Mirror, Mirror, on the wall,
who's the fairest of them all?
[Reflection hides, Mirror reveals self, stage hand casts bless on Mirror]
Mirror:
O Lady Queen, though fair ye be,
another is fairer far to see!
Famed is thy beauty, Majesty,
but wait, tis a lovely maid I see!
Alas, she is more fair than thee.
Evil Queen:
Reveal her name!
Mirror:
With lips as red as blood
with hair as black as ebony
with skin as white as snow!
[Mirror hides, Reflection reveals]
Evil Queen:
Snow White!
Narrator:
The Queen turned yellow and green with envy.
From that hour, whenever she looked at Snow White
her heart heaved in her breast,
she hated the girl so much.
[Enter Huntsman across forest side through 'door', Reflection mimics Evil Queen's movements(Using arrow key macros to turn helps with this)]
Huntsman:
Ye seek my services M'lady?
Evil Queen:
Take Snow White away into the forest;
I will no longer have her in my sight!
Take her where she can pick wildflowers.
Then, my faithful huntsman,
you will KILL HER!
Huntsman:
But your Majesty! The little Princess!
Evil Queen:
Silence!
You know the penalty if you fail.
Huntsman:
Yes, your Majesty.
*hangs head*
Evil Queen:
But to make doubly sure, bring back her heart.
[Huntsman exit]

Some day my prince will come
Some day we'll meet again
And away to his castle we'll go
To be happy forever I know
[Bows and picks up Whispering Rose during Song]
Some day when spring is here
We'll find our love anew
And the birds will sing
And wedding bells will ring
Some day when my dreams come true
[Huntsman enters forest]

Snow White:
It's adorable, just like a doll house!

[Snow White enters the stage.] Why look, seven little chairs!
This must be the home of seven little children --
Seven untidy little children from the looks of things!
I'll make them something to eat,
[Snow White clears the table as she walks around it and says her lines. She replaces empty plate on left table with plate of cookies and places a the Pitcher of Water with 2 Nightshade on the right table as flowers.]
And clean a bit!

Shut up and tell her to GET OUT!
If the queen finds her here
She'll swoop down and have her vengeance on us.

or even that I'm alive.

how her step-mother wanted her killed,
But the Huntsman had spared her,
and that she had run all the day
until she stumbled across their dwelling.
Sneezy:
*a-choo* [bows]
If she were to take care of our house...
*a-choo* [bows]
Maybe she could stay with us?
