The Snowman – A Festive Pleasure
The Snowman London musical is based on the celebrated illustrator Raymond Briggs CBE's picture book of the same name. The late John Coates produced the show. The classic British tale by Briggs was also adapted into an animated television special. The sequel entitled The Snowman and the Snowdog was dedicated in Coates' memory shortly following his unfortunate death from cancer.
John Coates was best-known for co-founding the TVC London animation studio in 1957 together with George Dunning. The studio was behind the animation for The Beatles' Yellow Submarine special. In addition, it produced a television series entitled The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends, based on Beatrix Potter's beloved children's book.

Did You Know
- In Briggs' original book, the story features an unnamed young boy. However, in the Channel 4 adaptation, the boy is named James, as this name was needed for the gift tag on his present from Father Christmas.
- Raymond Briggs confirmed that the boy in The Snowman seemed to reside in the South Downs area, near Brighton, suggesting that both the boy and the snowman are likely from Brighton.
- The Snowman was an awards darling and was nominated for Best Animated Short Film at the 1983 Academy Awards.
- Originally released in 1978, the book has achieved sales exceeding 5.5 million copies in 15 different languages. It ranks among the best-selling picture books of all time and remains in publication through Puffin.

I hadn't realised just how young the target audience was. I was heavily looking forward to hearing an amazing rendition of 'Walking in the air', but during the play they just played a recording of the song which I was very disappointed about.
It was a great show. I know this show is for kids but i tthink there should be an age limit for infants
Great show. My granddaughter enjoyed it as well as my daughter and I.
It was falsely advertised. I took my wife thinking it’d be very similar to the actual when actually it was nothing of the kind. We ended up leaving the shoe half way through. Definitely won’t be doing it again as we paid for near enough front row seats.
It was hard to get past the snowman’s poor quality costume (and rather grubby rear end).
Very enjoyable!
The show was good and all staff helpful. Unfortunately I didn't enjoy the snowman due to the person on her phone. What happened to the good old day's before mobile phones! Why go out to a show if your going to look at Facebook?
So beautiful and touching, wonderful to have a live orchestra and a proper introduction to the ballet from young ones. The only thoughts were that bag check was chaos and the whole bar and toilets need upgrading with many more female toilets as all the children need to be able to go to the loo beforehand, in the interval and after and often it is the mother that takes the children into the loo. The entrance experience, bar and seating could be much better designed.and
A delightful magical performance suitable for all ages.
Great performance, suitable for all ages, kids friendly theatre
It’s magical and very well performed. I was concerned that my kids would not understand the show, since they don’t speak English, but words are not used. Kids loved.
It was brilliant entertainment for kids and adults alike. Everyone had a wonderful time living in a totally different world for a couple of hours. Well done to the whole team. Excellent.

London Theatre Review: The Snowman at the Peacock Theatre
The Snowman is a story which plays a large part in every Christmas, just as the Coca-Cola advert or Michael Bublé singing on the radio. The story follows a young boy as his Snowman comes alive and they begin a night of adventures together in the snow.
