We have seen the stage show many many times and alway enjoy it. My son has autism and does not like the theatre, however he loves this show and it is a tradition at christmas to see it at the rep in Birmingham, the final scene is alway very moving and the music is great, how reviews can say it is bland is beyond me. The stage show was first released on video and I have been trying to get it on DVD for years. I do not know why there is not an app for the snowman. This is a must buy for young and old who love the original snowman, my son calls this the real snowman.

The wonderful thing about the original "The Snowman" animation was that is was short - it remains charming and enchanting without the viewer noticing there is virtually no story here - just a collection of amusing scenes. The trouble with "The Snowman The Live Stage Show" is that it extends the viewing to three times the original length with the addition of many more pleasant but fairly bland scenes. The scene where they fly is great, but the rest is fairly uninteresting. There is lots of nice dancing and some nice (for kids) visual comedy, but it's just too long. It's not special enough to support all the added scenes of harmless but pretty bland dancing. I thought it would be good and found it very dull. However, in its defence, my eleven year-old daughter likes it, and my wife says she does (though she gets up to do the chores about 20 minutes in, and only occasionally looks round the door at the screen - which says a lot).

I watched this DVD just the other day having witnessed the magical show, live at The Peacock Theatre in London last year. Hearing that great score in my living room on a cold winter's day brought joy into my heart. Such a beautiful production accompanied by sensational music is a treat for young and old. I hope to be able go and see this show again at the theatre but for now, I am able to have the pleasure of Howard Blake's wonderful show twenty-four time in one day if I wish!
