The Snowman returns to The Lowry

Celebrating 13 spellbinding years on the stage, the live version of Raymond Briggs’ much-loved children’s classic,The Snowman, returns to The Lowry from Tuesday 22 to Saturday 26 November, enchanting audiences of all ages.

This popular stage production of the classic children’s film comes to life on stage this month filled with the songs you love and know. Sparkling with charm and wit, The Snowman tells the magical story of a young boy’s adventures when his snowman comes miraculously to life on Christmas Eve.

A glittering host of international snowmen and snowwomen are joined onstage by an array of colourful characters including dancing penguins, magical reindeer, a beautiful snow princess and her abominable beau Jack Frost and of course, Father Christmas himself. With its joyful combination of classic storytelling, music and dance, The Snowman is an enchanting treat for all the family. 

The Snowman first appeared as a beautifully illustrated picture book by Raymond Briggs in 1978. It has since inspired the classic Oscar Nominated, BAFTA Award winning animated film, with its signature song Walking in the Air, reaching number 3 in the UK charts when sung by choirboy Aled Jones.

Since its premiere at The Birmingham Repertory Theatre, the live stage show of The Snowman has thrilled audiences at The Peacock Theatre, London for 13 years and the show made it international debut at the Seoul Opera House, Korea in 2009. It returns back to The Lowry for the only northern dates on this year's UK tour.
