We round up the reviews for the London return of the snowshow at the Harold Pinter Theatre until the 12th January.
Broadway World: *** “It may not have the universal appeal of other Christmas shows, and the first act could probably be cut and reworked entirely, but it is impossible to leave the theatre without a beaming smile.”
The Spy in the Stalls: **** “this quirky magnificent seven are all truly beautiful characters, and it is funny and innocent theatre.”
The Reviews Hub: **** “In a world of transient digital entertainment, it’s an absolute joy to see something based on tradition that still feels dynamic, fresh and thrilling. Slava’s SnowShow is more than an escape from the digital world, it’s a joyous journey into childlike wonder and pleasure.”
West End Best Friend: ***** “To laugh is a gift, and Slava’s Snow Show is an enchanting reminder of that. It’s a celebration of silliness, wonder, and shared experience. And a final tip: be sure to stay in the auditorium during the interval, you won’t regret it.”
South London.co.uk: “The visual imagery is stunning throughout, and the production is lit so beautifully that the wonderment continues to a crescendo blizzard scene that blasted the audience away in the stalls. The beauty of SnowShow is that it works visually from every part of the theatre and although audience members higher up on the balcony experience the drama in a different way it’s just as special.”
The Standard: ***** “This is a production that works on multiple levels. Adults may identify existential themes and see SnowShow as all about our need to make connections, children can enjoy the comic faces being pulled or the way tall people in long shabby overcoats and flappy hats can suddenly make themselves seem tiny.”
