The Snowman

The Christmas spectacle that will melt your heart…

A fresh flurry of snow has fallen over this brand-new staging as The Snowman™ flies home to Brum with a mesmerising new makeover.

Based on Raymond Briggs’ cherished book, The Rep’s sparkling new production features Howard Blake’s iconic score including the Christmas classic Walking In The Air, beautifully crafted puppets and of course… a gravity-defying friendship!

When Christmas Eve magic breathes life into a young boy’s snowman, an unforgettable adventure begins. The boy invites his new friend into his cosy home, before they glide together hand-in-hand across the starlit sky. Along the way they meet Father Christmas, a herd of friendly reindeer, and enjoy a merry party with the snowman’s friends beneath the shimmering Northern Lights.
