This is a magical flight you won’t forget.
Fly away with me on a wonderous adventure where we’ll meet all my friends – from the enchanted toys in the nursery to the dancing fruit in the kitchen. Soar to the North Pole just in time for our Christmas party where snow-folk from around the world meet penguins, princesses, the fiendish Jack Frost, and of course Father Christmas himself. It might even snow…
THE SNOWMAN by RAYMOND BRIGGS
This winter family favourite is the heartwarming tale of a boy, and a snowman who comes to life. Back for its 28th year, The Snowman is a magical stage adaptation of the much-loved picture book by Raymond Briggs and the film directed by Dianne Jackson. The Snowman is an enchanting introduction to dance for the whole family.
The Snowman is directed by Bill Alexander and features music and lyrics by Howard Blake, including the song Walking in the Air, spectacular design by Ruari Murchison, magical lighting by Tim Mitchell, and amazing choreography by Robert North, all of which is accompanied by a live orchestra.
