Now a major fixture in the Christmas calendar, the stage version of Raymond Briggs' much-loved book continues to delight children as it returns to the Peacock Theatre this Christmas. When a young boy's snowman comes to life on Christmas Eve, the two set off on a night-time quest for adventure. On their travels, they meet dancing penguins, reindeer and, of course, Father Christmas. Watch spellbound as the Snowman literally flies through the night sky above you, before escaping the clutches of the evil Jack Frost to return home for Christmas morning. Suitable for all children aged two and upwards, this is a captivating mix of dance, stagecraft and music. Featuring Howard Blake's beautiful Walking in the Air, performed by a live orchestra, choreography from Robert North and directed by Bill Alexander, this is the perfect Christmas treat for all the family.
