The Snowman in London

Fly high above a winter wonderland as one of London’s most beloved Christmas shows, The Snowman, returns for its 28th year. Raymond Briggs’ classic children’s story transforms on stage with dance, music and incredible storytelling that the whole family will adore. Book your tickets now to experience the whimsy and nostalgia of this “still magical” (Time Out) ballet show at the Peacock Theatre near Covent Garden.

What is the Christmas show The Snowman about?

When a young boy looks out of his window on Christmas Eve, he is surprised to see that the snowman he built has come alive! As his new frosty friend beckons him on an adventure, the pair soar up, up, up into the night sky. Join them as they meet Father Christmas, dancing penguins, woodland creatures and even dancing pineapples. But can they escape Jack Frost and get back home in time for Christmas morning?

Adapted from Raymond Briggs’ beloved children’s story and Dianne Jackson’s celebrated animated film, The Snowman is a timeless tale that is truly breathtaking on stage. Its gorgeous designs and costumes combine with music from a live orchestra, who perform the famous Aled Jones number “Walking in the Air”- to create a dance show that is accessible for all ages.

The Snowman On Stage - 28 Years of Magic

This festive delight premiered at Birmingham Repertory Theatre in 1993 and has become a London Christmas theatre tradition for generations. Now in its 28th year in London, it is still attracting audiences who are excited to experience the magic and childlike wonder of this heartwarming production. For many children, it is their very first West End show and one that has sparked a love of theatre in them. The creative team includes Olivier Award-winning director Bill Alexander (Blythe Spirit, Twelfth Night), designer Ruari Murchison (The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe, Alice), lighting designer Tim Mitchell (Singing in the Rain, We Will Rock You) and choreographer Robert North (Death And The Maiden, Carmen). A live orchestra accompanies the action on stage, as James and his new friend take flight to far-off fantasy lands.

This has become a Christmas staple like the Nutcracker. At a 7pm performance there are a lot of young children far too young to sit through a show.

Lovely show for both young and old. The music is lovely and the production is light hearted and fun. Suitable for all ages from the very young to grandparents.

Lovely performances, but some of the snowmen costumes were a little freaky! Stunning dancing at Sadler's Wells.
