'The Snowman' a popular family show that has been running for 16 years in Britain has come to Seoul where it will be staged for the first time in Asia.
The much-anticipated show is being welcomed by Korean fans who are especially delighted to be able to see the original members of the cast.
[Interview : ] "We were infatuated by the story after reading the children's book and watching the animation. So‚ I brought my kid here for the musical adaptation."
'The Snowman' a classic children's book first published in 1978 has earned rave reviews around the world for its coloured-pencils-on-paper-look and life-like hand-drawn illustrations.

julz1201@arirang.co.kr] "The musical adaptation of a popular fairytake 'The Snowman' from Britain is being held in Seoul‚ offering local audiences a magical journey of excitment and friendship."
Before the show was unveiled for the first time in front of a Korean audience the staff busied themselves preparing to put on a perfect show aiming to flawlessly recreate the beautiful children's story and the animation known so well to so many.
And a surprise appearance of a snowman dressed up in a Korean traditional rainbow-striped garment was also on standby.
[Interview : Richard Pugh‚ Company stage manager] ""
The gentle fable of friendship starts out with a little boy named James waking up to find everything outside turned snow-white.
Intensely excited by the spectacle he runs out to build the perfect snowman in his garden rolling the snow carefully and even dressing the finished product in a hat and scarf.
The spectacular show plays against a brilliant white set of snow-covered Christmas trees complete with impressive falling snow effects.
[Interview : Lewis Coppen‚ Actor
as 'James'] ""

With the young boy's snowman coming alive on Christmas Eve the two set off on a night time quest for adventure dancing with objects brought to life such as a beautiful Ice Princess and crowds of the Snowman's friends.
The wordless play beautifully delivers the story relying on expressive action‚ mime‚ dance and music revised by composer Howard Blake.
[Interview : Howard Blake‚ Music & Lyrics] ""
And finally there is a wonderful flying sequence accompanied by the hit song 'Walking in the Air' that brings the show to its climax.
[Interview : Nicholas Cass-Beggs‚ Actor
as 'Snowman'] ""

Whether it is the simple charm of the dream-like story or Howard Blake's fantastic score the show is in high demand by audiences around the globe to the extent that some European families travel internationally to Britain just to watch the performance.
"I read 'the Snowman' before coming to this see this musical. I was fascinated by how well the show vividly depicted the story."
"I want to fly like the Snowman."
And in this day and age where so much of a child's entertainment seems to revolve around violence this is truly a refreshing and heart-warming production that relates an important underlying message about life and love.
