The gentle and enchanting storytelling is enhanced by incredibly clever costumes and scenery and soft music you'll find yourself humming hours or days later. The actors made all the different parts come to life and the thought put into how to show each scene (eg the different ways to show snow) showed how much work had been put into the show. A magical experience for 4-12 years old (and definitely adults!).

A really talented cast perform this classic fairytale with total professionalism. Good acting, really beautiful songs, clever puppetry, quality costumes and staging - combine to make this show memorable. This is a must for children and adults of all ages. I’m 70 and loved it!

A beautiful, traditional telling of the Snow Queen story. The acting, music, costumes, are all very high quality and there is humour and warmth in the performances. Young children with a reasonable attention span should enjoy this. We unaccompanied adults thought it was magical.
