About The Snowman

The Birmingham Repertory Theatre’s enchanting production of The Snowman has been delighting audiences for over 30 years and is the West End’s longest running Christmas Show. It returned home over the festive season to give Birmingham audiences the chance to be part of the magic again.

When a young boy’s snowman comes to life on Christmas Eve, the two set off on a night-time quest for adventure. They meet Father Christmas, dancing penguins, reindeer and crowds of The Snowman’s friends, but will they escape evil Jack Frost and get back home for Christmas morning?

Based on Raymond Brigg’s much-loved book and featuring Howard Blake‘s classic song Walking In The Air, this enchanting live show has thrilled audiences throughout the world since first appearing on stage over twenty-five years ago.
