“A gorgeous, gothic take on the traditional fairy tale, it’s 10 years since this glitteringly dark version first awoke and it offers a delicious Christmas treat for adults and older members of the family. Those with younger children may want to head to Sadler’s Wells’ sister theatre, the Peacock, where The Snowman continues to spread a frosting of happiness in a dance version which always delights. If you have children but don’t want to leave the house Sadler’s Wells also have a previous Christmas hit, The Little Matchgirl, available for rent.”
