Miscellaneous Meandering: The Snowman again




Oh no...still wrong?! Let's try again...
All I can say is thank goodness we don't live in England...other than that, I'm speechless.





The Snowman has also been made into a stage show. It was first produced by Birmingham Repertory Company in 1993, with music and lyrics by Howard Blake, scenario by Blake, with Bill Alexander and choreography by Robert North. Since 1997 Sadler's Wells has presented it every year as the Christmas Show at the Peacock Theatre. As in the book and the film, there are no words, apart from the lyrics of the song "Walking in the Air". The story is told through images and movement. Special effects include the Snowman and boy flying high over the stage (with assistance of wires and harnesses) and ‘snow’ falling in part of the auditorium.

The production has had several revisions – the most extensive happening in 2000, when major changes were made to the second act, introducing new characters: The Ice Princess and Jack Frost.
