The Snowman in London
In this heartwarming story, a young boy befriends a snowman who comes to life, and steps into a wonderland of winter magic and Christmas miracles. This magical stage adaptation of the beloved picture book by Raymond Briggs and the film directed by Dianne Jackson has been enchanting families for 28 years, and now it returns to the London stage in time for Christmas.
Directed by Bill Alexander, The Snowman features unforgettable songs by Howard Blake, including the timelessly catchy ‘Walking in the Air', accompanied by a live orchestra that will immerse you into the story's wintry wonderland. Praised as an ‘irresistible piece of nostalgia' (Sunday Express) with ‘a kernel of something magical that can transport you to a childlike world of imagination and touch your heart' (Time Out), this is the perfect first play for young children and a wonderful theatrical experience for the whole family. Adults and children alike will fall in love with the kind-hearted snowman hero and his powerful bond with the young James, in a story that celebrates friendship, imagination, and Chrstmas miracles.
Perfect for the whole family, book now and enjoy a magical, hopeful story of friendship and wonder this festive season.

Nice story. Visually very pleasant. So much noise in the theater that we could not enjoy the show.A creative trip and good christmas story. Unfortunately the theater had over 500 small childern which created a noise level and distraction that strongly effected our ability to enjoy the presentation. Key is to understand the term "Relaxed Performance" Should be more warnings on what that entails. People moving and talking (even yelling) during the show make it difficult to enjoy. Attending with a young family makes sense. Attending to enjoy the performance very limited.

Not up to our expectationsThe first part of the show is excruciatingly slow - and does not engage the (younger) audience at all, but towards the end of the first half, once the snowman flies, it becomes more magical, although the strings are rather too visible. The second half is more engaging but the costumes rather inhibit the dancing - would have liked to see more formal dancing/ballet. Our 6 and 7 yo granddaughters were not very impressed. Sorry!

AmazingI like that it was all memes, no need to understand English to have fun and enjoy them show. The snowman is one of my favorite stories, and I believe it's one of the greatest stories written. It was represented in a unique way at this show. And I liked that there was a girl instead of the boy. I tried to know her nnam from the credit but I couldn't find out.
