The spirit of Raymond Briggs's The Snowman lives on in this winter wonderland of a stage show, an annual festive fixture at the Peacock Theatre for the 12th consecutive year. This is the theatrical equivalent of going to see Father Christmas in his grotto except infinitely more spectacular - young James's snowman comes to life and the two of them fly across the sky with a full moon behind them, whizz around the stage on a sidecar motorcycle and meet a snow princess and the icy Jack Frost on their night-time adventure. When Father Christmas does appear on the scene it's in a shimmering woodland, surrounded by magical reindeer, comical dancing penguins and a host of snowy friends. As the first notes of 'Walking in the Air' fill the theatre, awe-struck children (and nostalgic adults) are mesmerised by the dancing, storytelling and magic of this timeless adventure. Suitable for children aged 4+About Peacock Theatre
This theatre is a major force on the national and international dance scene, with an innovative programme from Sadler's Wells that is keeping London's finger on the pulse. The Peacock Theatre became the company's base from 1996 to 1998 when a new theatre was being built on its Islington site and, since that time, has been a shining star in the Sadler's Wells sphere.
