About the project: Andersen: A Fairy Tale Life” is the story behind a nineteenth-century literary giant who continues to give the world so much joy even today. Hans Christian Andersen was one of the most prolific writers of the 19th century. He was born in poverty in a rural town in Denmark and was barely literate, but as a small child, he listened to the stories of the peasant women as they gleaned the leftover grain in the fields in the country. This musical tells how Andersen overcame insurmountable odds to become not only a success, but one of the most famous men in all of Europe. He wrote novels, travelogues, poems, and autobiographies. But the writing that made him immortal were the simple stories he heard as a child. His fairy tales are still mined today and have made millions of dollars for various publishers and production companies.
