The Snowman
A perennial family favourite, The Snowman has transported a generation of children and their families into the wintery world of a boy and his magical snowman. As a friendship is kindled, the two embark on a starry-skied adventure to the North Pole, where they meet dancing penguins, reindeer, Father Christmas and escape the clutches of Jack Frost. With music and lyrics by Howard Blake, including Walking in the Air performed by a live band, choreographed by Robert North and directed by Bill Alexander, the stage show based on the book by Raymond Briggs and the subsequent film has become a much-loved festive tradition. Ruari Murchison's enchanting design combined with Tim Mitchell's spectacular lighting delight young and old alike with a captivating mix of dance, music, storytelling, spectacle and magic.

The snowman
23 December 2016
Our 5 and 7 year old children loved it and were transfixed. Perfect length. Acting, dancing and music were excellent. From an adult perspective the set changes seemed a little clunky. An advisory age of 5 would also help. Many children seemed too young and parents sat commentating to them about the story. I certainly wouldnt have taken ours when they were under 3 in fear they would ruin it for others; sadly we live in a world of entitlement where some parents feel it is their right to impose their children on others. I did wonder why some families were there, as the children didnt want to be!
