Slava’s Snowshow to tour the UK this autumn

Exclusive: Slava’s Snowshow, which recently marked its 30 year-anniversary, is set to mount a new tour this autumn.

The production, which features a variety of festive musical and visual moments, has earned more than 20 international awards, including an Olivier Award for Best Entertainment, a Drama Desk Award, and a Tony Award nomination.

Since its inception, Slava’s Snowshow has toured extensively, with over 12,000 performances in more than 225 cities and 40 countries worldwide.

Audiences can expect to see a variety of imagined scenarios, such as a shark swimming in a misty sea, clowns interacting with a spider’s web, poignant farewells with a coat rack on a railway platform, and a huge snowstorm.

Tour dates for this autumn include the New Theatre, Cardiff (15 to 18 October), Manchester Opera House (22 to 26 October), Nottingham Concert Hall (29 October to 2 November), Richmond Theatre (5 to 9 November), Birmingham Alexandra (12 to 15 November) and York Theatre Royal (19 to 23 November).

Creator Slava Polunin said: “SnowShow has been travelling the world every day for over 30 years, clowning is much more than laughter—it’s about seeing life from a poetic perspective, finding joy and emotions in the simple, the absurd, and the unexpected.

“The UK has always embraced our poetic universe, and I can’t wait to see how new audiences react and look forward to welcoming back familiar faces who saw SnowShow many years ago.”
