The Snowman™
About
A new live stage production uses puppetry, dance and Howard Blake’s music to tell the friendship of a boy and his magical snowman.
Birmingham Rep and Sadler’s Wells present the world premiere of a new stage production based on Raymond Briggs’ book and the animated film. A boy’s snowman comes to life, taking him on a night-time flight to meet Father Christmas, reindeer and other snow people beneath the Northern Lights. Howard Blake’s score includes Walking in the Air. Will Tuckett directs and choreographs, with production design by Anna Fleischle and the Snowman designed by Tahra Zafar. The production is suitable for all ages and runs approximately 90 minutes including a 20-minute interval. All performances are likely to be amplified. The 30 October 11:00 performance is chilled. The 31 October 15:00 performance is audio-described, with a free bookable touch tour at 13:30 beforehand. Four child performers share The Boy role; no individual-date casting is specified. School discounts are advertised for 21 October 2026 at 10:15, 22 October 2026 at 10:15. Email schoolbookings@birmingham-rep.co.uk for details.
