The Snowman Reviews

Gill from Milton Keynes

FANTASTIC FAMILY FUN

Took my elderly mother to see the show and she loved it. Wonderful costumes, simple yet effective sets, with clever use of shadow images and some very talented performers, especially liked the Snowman himself, Jack Frost, and Santa! Be prepared for a little distraction form the younger members of the audience, it's a family show after all,but still worth watching if you enjoyed the book and like simple, light-hearted theatre. Second half best by far, especially if the audience gets involved by clapping along!

VERY GOOD

December 2010. We took our 4 year old daughter to see this show as a part of her Christmas present and she like it very much. I was a little bit worried about our seats, we had dress circle C12, 13 and 14 and they were absolutely fine. I wouldn't have a problem getting the same seats again. Nice show, kids will love it.

SNOW INSIDE.SNOW OUTSIDE..

I took my 4year old Spanish granddaughter,who isn't speaking English yet, It was perfect for her,she sat still all the way through .my son had booked front row,but it was difficult for a small child to see,she was able to stand infront of the orchestra pit or sit on my thick .coat. She loved it with the fake snow ,but unbeknown to us it was really snowing outside,the first real snow she had seen,an amazing ,perfect, evening

THE THEATRE NEED TO MANAGE

Attended performance Dec 2022 the production was amazing. The audience were awful. Staff allowed a constant flow of late comers which interupts the audience members who do arrive on time. When the audience is made up of children every late comer distracts. There was also lots of eating not of snacks but baguettes, pizza and even a thermos of soup. The person in front of us was videoing the show on their phone - words fail me. I appreciate that the staff can't be responsible for the behaviour of patons but they can ensure that basic theatre etiquette is enforced and upheld!

JUST NOT THAT GREAT (AND FAR TOO LONG)

Took my 3 year old. The first half was good. The flying sequence was very well done. But after the break the show lagged, the dances were unimaginative and the whole thing went on far too long. The dance scene at the North Pole with Jack Frost (where did he come from?) could have been cut to a few minutes but just went on and on and on... Sometimes, less is more!

DISAPPOINTED

Sorry. Very disappointed. I was expecting a great performance but I saw weak dancers, but I presume the company thinks .. Matinee & a show for children is not so important. The dances were unintersting, the staging old fashioned., the Musik middle of the road, the costumes unimaginative!. Shame!

PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

Definately for under 5's, I have never been to a theatre where so many people are allowed to arrive late and disturb te whole audience!. You would need to be insane to see any talent in this show whatsoever. The main boy could barely act, let alone dance, the ballerina lost her poise and balance more than my grandma after a sherry at Christmas and the lack of connection between the choreography and the orchestra was pitiful. My only praise was to the costume deigner. Great animals
