Birmingham Rep presents its family Christmas classic The Snowman for its 27th year at Sadler’s Wells’ home in the West End, the Peacock Theatre, with a six-week run from Saturday 23 November 2024 – Saturday 4 January 2025. A magical stage adaptation of the much-loved picture book by Raymond Briggs and the film directed by Dianne Jackson.
This production for all the family follows the story of a young boy’s adventures when his snowman and new friend comes to life on Christmas Eve.
Verdict: 9/10
We have attended the show for several years and yet it never disappoints. The simplicity of the production captivates all ages into the magic of Christmas. The highlight is the snowman and boy flying mesmerised us once again! The little voices sitting next to me wholly appreciated and applauded as the duo took to the sky.
The musical performance is commendable. The dance show which features the iconic music and lyrics by Howard Blake, including ‘Walking in the Air’, all played by a live orchestra, is directed by Bill Alexander.
The Snowman Peacock Theatre, WC2
