THE SNOWMAN Comes to The Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury

THE ACCLAIMED stage version of the classic story THE SNOWMAN comes to The Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury, in the new year.

Based on the book by Raymond Briggs and the film directed by DiAnne Jackson and produced by John Coates, the enchanting show tells the story of a young boy's adventures when his snowman comes miraculously to life on Christmas Eve. Featuring an array of colourful characters, including dancing penguins, reindeer, a snow princess, her wicked beau Jack Frost and of course, Father Christmas, The Snowman is a treat for all the family and a perfect introduction to dance for the very young.

The Birmingham Repertory Theatre production features music and lyrics by Howard Blake, performed by a live orchestra.
