The Snowman

One winter morning a little boy named James wakes up to find that everything outside has turned snow-white. Overjoyed, James rushes downstairs and into the garden, where he begins to build a snowman. He opens the back door…he can't believe his eyes…the snowman has come to life! James finds himself face to face with a smiling snowman, who, with a polite doff of his hat, introduces himself and marks the beginning of a magical friendship and marvellous adventure…

It has been over 25 years since Birmingham Repertory Theatre first produced the live stage show version of The Snowman. Since then, it has been produced all over the world, been seen by over a million people and become the West End's longest running Christmas show.
