Now a major fixture in the festive calendar, the stage version of Raymond Briggs’s much-loved book The Snowman, which returns to the Peacock theatre this Christmas, continues to delight children.

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.

Audiences watch spellbound as the Snowman literally flies through the night sky above them, before escaping the clutches of the evil Jack Frost to return home for Christmas morning.

Suitable for all children aged two and upwards, Birmingham Repertory’s production of The Snowman is a captivating mix of dance, stagecraft and music.

Featuring Howard Blake’s beautiful Walking In The Air, performed by a live orchestra, choreographed by Robert North and directed by Bill Alexander, The Snowman is a chilly Christmas treat for all the family.
