When a young boy’s snowman comes to life on Christmas Eve the two set off on a night time quest for adventure. On their travels they meet dancing penguins, reindeer and crowds of the Snowman’s friends.

Will the Snowman escape the clutches of the evil Jack Frost as he soars through the night sky? And will he get his new friend back home before Christmas morning?

Featuring the classic song Walking In The Air by Howard Blake, The REP’s production of The Snowman has thrilled audiences since its premiere in 1993, and makes a welcome return to Birmingham this January.

im a teenager and this beautiful beautiful performance took me back to my childhood and enchanted me once again... its a must see this year in my diary :)

a fantastic show for all - very magical, christmassy and snowy - going again this year with all the family

Hello,
Please could you tell me if row 'A' is at the front of the stage or is it row 'U' > In your opinion which are the better seats for the snowman performance.

Best Regards

Hi Teresa - thank you for your message. Row A is at the front of the auditorium. There are lots of 'best seats in the house' at The REP, and where you choose to sit is largely down to personal preference. The first three rows of the auditorium (A, B & C) are looking slightly upwards at the stage, and for this reason many people prefer to sit nearer to the middle of the auditorium. If you'd like some more help with deciding where to sit, the Sales Team on 0121 236 4455 will be happy to advise you. We look forward to welcoming you to The REP.

Could you tell me what the youngest recommended age this performance is suitable for?
Thanks

Hi Sandy - we recommend age 4+ for The Snowman.

Please can you confirm if this is really on in January, after Christmas?

Hi Rebecca - thanks for your message. Yes, The Snowman is in January 2010, following A Christmas Carol to form the second of our double-bill of Main House Family shows. We think it'll be a great New Year treat to beat the January blues! We hope to see you there.

Best Regards

Hi, I have just seen the Snowman at the Peacock Theatre in London. Absolutely wonderful - can't wait unti you do it again. Is there a DVD of your production - I know there is an animated version, but I would like one of your production, even from previous years.

many thanks.

James and I went to see 'The Snowman' last night. It was a fantastic show. The dancing was magnificent as was the music. It was spellbinding from start to finish and the finale was memorable. If you get a chance to see it, you won't be disappointed.

i went to see "the snowman" today. with my school.
it was so good, i liked it when one of your boys, scared your dad and your mom. It made me laugh.

My 16 month old son Archie and I today came to see The Snowman. I came prepared to leave if he became to wriggly or overwhelmed, however he was absolutley captivated. It was a truly magical afternoon and a stunning performance. The atmosphere was superb. Archie and I are looking forwrd to another visit asap.

Hi there, I first saw the show advertised in Cardiff but as it's a production by the Birmingham Repertory Theatre Company I assumed it would also be performed closer to home? (Birmingham area.) Could you tell me if it is? I'm having difficulty finding out where it's being shown other than in Cardiff.

Thanks :)

Hi Hannah,

The Snowman will definitely be returning to Birmingham in the future.

Our Snowman microsite has information on the show's current location at http://www.birmingham-rep.co.uk/about/snowman-home/where-can-i-see-it/

As soon as the dates for the Snowman's next trip home are confirmed they'll be listed there.

hi, just wondering if the snowman will be showing in the rep this year?
