A snowy stage sets the scene for an icy cold Christmas Eve, where the Little Match Girl paces the emptying streets, shivering and desperate, trying to sell her matches. This magical production based on Hans Christian Andersen's classic story, adapted by celebrated director and choreographer Arthur Pita, returns following a sell-out season last year as the Sadler's Wells Christmas show at the Lilian Baylis theatre. Classically based dance moves are performed against a clever set by Yann Seabra and a score by Frank Moon which uses pre-recorded and live sound. The story may not be the most cheerful but a trip to the moon prompts a fun-filled episode with an astronaut and a miniature space shuttle - more than enough to keep the over 5s enthralled. The Little Match Girl is one of three Christmas shows presented by Sadler's Wells this festive season, along with the record-breaking return of The Snowman and Matthew Bourne's Cinderella.
About Sadler's Wells: Lilian Baylis Theatre
When Lilian Baylis arrived at Sadler's Wells in 1925, it was with a vision of rescuing the old playhouse from total decline. Her mission was accomplished with style and now the Lilian Baylis Theatre continues to stage works of piercing beauty and rare perceptiveness. More about Sadler's Wells: Lilian Baylis Theatre
