The Birmingham Repertory Theatre
A delightful entertainment for the whole family. When a young boy builds a snowman in his garden, little does he know what is in store for him. The magic of Christmas brings his snowman to life and together they embark on an adventure, discovering the wonders of each other’s worlds. Childhood fantasies come to life: flying with a secret friend around the world. The charm of Raymond Briggs’s original illustrated book inspired the composer and lyricist Howard Blake to write a score telling the lovely story of The Snowman in music. Blake’s enchanting song “Walking in the Air” became an immediate hit and remains an international favorite. Following the success of book and film, The Snowman has gone on to conquer the stage with dance and mime. Howard Blake‘s catchy music lets us feel the wonder, excitement and fun of it all.
