Adaptations of this play/musical/stage drama:
Snow White (1916)
This play/musical/stage drama is an adaptation of: Children's and Household Tales (1812): "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs".
"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" is a 1912 Broadway play which debuted at the Little Theatre on West 44th Street, New York City, on October 31, 1912. It was based on the Brothers Grimm story, which featured 7 unnamed dwarfs (or "dwarves"). This play gives the dwarfs names for the first time.
This play was adapted to film by the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation in 1916.
The famed Disney animated feature film later released in 1937 also adapted the original Grimm fairy tale. The Broadway play and the film adaptation of it were a significant inspiration for the Disney film, but the Disney film used different names for the dwarfs.
Winthrop Ames produced this play. He also wrote the play, using the pseudonym "Jessie Graham White."
The original production of this play ran for 72 performances.
At "only" 99-years-old, "Quee" is the youngest of the dwarfs and is considered a mere "boy." This dwarf can be mapped to the beardless Dopey in the Disney version. The oldest dwarf is "Blick," who can be mapped to ostensible leader "Doc" in the Disney version. But realistically speaking the Seven Dwarfs in the Broadway play (Blick, Flick, Glick, Snick, Plick, Whick, Quee) can not really be mapped directly to Disney Dwarfs. Yet in a broad sense, these are the "same characters." Both Broadway and Disney versions are adaptations of the same fairy tale ("Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs").
For the sake of convenience, this database links the Broadway version Dwarfs to Disney version Dwarfs, but this was simply done by alphabetical order for the five remaining dwarfs (after Dopey/Quee and Doc/Blic were matched based on their ages).
