THE SNOWMAN Coming to Lyceum Theatre, 19-23 November
Celebrating 21 spellbinding years on the stage, Birmingham Repertory Theatre's live version of Raymond Briggs' iconic and much-loved children's classic, The Snowman, flies to the Lyceum Theatre from Wednesday 19 - Sunday 23 November to enchant audiences of all ages.
Sparkling with charm and wit, The Snowman tells the magical story of a young boy's adventures when his snowman comes miraculously to life on Christmas Eve. A glittering host of international snowmen and snow women are joined onstage by an array of colourful characters including dancing penguins, magical reindeer, a beautiful snow princess and her abominable beau Jack Frost and of course, Father Christmas himself.
The Snowman first appeared as a beautifully illustrated picture book by Raymond Briggs in 1978. It subsequently inspired the classic Oscar nominated, BAFTA award-winning animated film featuring Howard Blake's wonderful score, first transmitted by Channel 4 on Christmas Eve thirty years ago. The film's signature song Walking in the Air reached number 3 in the UK charts when sung by choirboy Aled Jones in 1985, and the song was voted number 2 in a poll conducted by Classic FM to find out children's favourite pieces of classical music, beating Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf and Tchaikovsky's Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy amongst others.
Since its premiere at Birmingham Repertory Theatre in 1993 the live stage show of The Snowman has been seen by over 1 million people, thrilling audiences worldwide. Now the show lands in Sheffield with its joyful combination of classic storytelling, music and dance, The Snowman is an enchanting treat for all the family.
The Snowman is on stage at the Lyceum Theatre from Wednesday 19 - Sunday 23 November. Tickets are priced from £17.00 - £32.00 (concessions and family tickets available) and can be purchased by calling the Box Office on 0114 249 6000 or by visiting sheffieldtheatres.co.uk (a transaction fee of £1.50 (£1.00 online) applies to all bookings made at the Box Office, excluding cash.)
