Running from 22 November 2025 to 4 January 2026, this is the show families return to year after year… and it’s easy to see why..
Howard Blake’s legendary score, including the unforgettable “Walking in the Air”, is performed live, a detail that gives the show its signature emotional sparkle, especially in a year that marks the 40th anniversary of Aled Jones’ famous recording.
The production, choreographed by Robert North, directed by Bill Alexander, and designed by Ruari Murchison, follows the enchanting story of a young boy whose snowman comes to life on Christmas Eve.
Together, they set off on an adventure to the North Pole, meeting dancing penguins, a shimmering snow princess, and Father Christmas himself.
It’s festive fantasy at its finest, and for many children, their very first introduction to dance and theatre.
This year, young performer Teddy Holton-Frances returns to share the lead role of The Boy. Audiences might recognise him from the BBC documentary The Snowman and Me, which followed Teddy and fellow young performer Phoenix Beharry from auditions to opening night.
The documentary is available to stream on BBC iPlayer, making the experience even more special for families heading to the show.
Whether it’s your first time or your annual family ritual, The Snowman at the Peacock Theatre is a Christmas essential: a tender, sparkling story that feels like stepping inside a snow globe.
