Birmingham Rep presents its family Christmas classic The Snowman for its 27th year at Sadler’s Wells’ home in the West End, the Peacock Theatre, with a six-week run from Saturday 23 November 2024 – Saturday 4 January 2025. A magical stage adaptation of the much-loved picture book by Raymond Briggs and the film directed by Dianne Jackson.

The dance show which features the iconic music and lyrics by Howard Blake, including ‘Walking in the Air’, all played by a live orchestra, is directed by Bill Alexander and designed by Ruari Murchison, with choreography by Robert North and lighting by Tim Mitchell.

This production for all the family follows the story of a young boy’s adventures when his snowman and a new friend come to life on Christmas Eve. They go on a magical adventure to the North Pole where they meet all sorts of characters including dancing penguins, a snow princess and Father Christmas himself. The Snowman is also a remarkable introduction to dance for children.
