"SLAVA'S SNOWSHOW is to clowning what Cirque du Soleil is to the circus." VARIETY
"SNOWSHOW is an unmistakably unique, unmissable comedy masterpiece, childishly thrilling with innocent amazement and lyrical beauty. As the show ends, no one wants to leave the theatre."
Star of "Four Weddings and Funeral" and Daily Express London critic Simon Callow said, "SLAVA'S SNOWSHOW is the single most beautiful thing I have ever seen in a theater in my life."

Magical evening at the Elgin Theatre experiencing Slava's Snowshow! Mesmerizing performances, laughter that warmed the heart, and a snowstorm of emotions. Turning the clock back and makes you kid again. Highly recommend catching this enchanting show – a perfect blend of whimsy and wonder!
Slavas snow show is the most fun I’ve ever had at the theatre! The second half of the show was amazing, like being part of a dream.
I thought the show was cute and entertaining. The music was terrific! The show wasn’t as delightful as I remember from seeing it years ago. Back then, I thought it was aimed at all ages. This time it seemed to be aimed at children.
We took our niece and family to see Snowshow. The boys (aged 7-10) enjoyed it. We really didn’t know what to expect but there were many in the audience who seemed to be familiar with the show and they were all thrilled and very excited about being there. The adults in our group found it entertaining, a little slow but the end was a lot of fun. I think the show is more theatre than spectacle. If we went into the theatre with that point of view, we might have enjoyed it more.
First half was numerous periods of lengthy darkness and loud music. Then a quick hit of action then onto a new scene. Audience was asking each other "what are they doing? What does it mean?"🤔 the best part by far was the last part of interaction, blowing snow and balloons!
Cute but $$$$. My family was a bit bored until the last 15min
The kids (8 and 11) and adults alike loved this show. You get swept away into another dream world - and it stays with you. Orchestra seating close to the stage is ideal if you can swing it. We would go again and recommend this!
This deep psychological show skillfully weaves tales about loneliness while injecting humor and evoking a sense of nostalgia for childhood. Polunin is a master of impersonation, a true shaman who manipulates the audience like a juggler. The show boasts amazing sound, lighting, and decor, all contributing to its immersive experience. Surprisingly, despite all the above, the show is suitable for younger audiences, and even more children play an important role in the final act. Highly recommended, be prepared ;)
It was.. interesting. I thought that clown means to be funny, as result, to have fun. But this clown showed signs of loneliness, and excepting an inevitable. This world got changed since the show was released. We live in the fast pace environment and the movements were way too slow to six of us. Scenes were not connected between each other. At the end, some people stood up and applause, some people were crying, but some were snoring while sleeping.
The show turns adults into children, filling the hearts with emotions, kindness and magic.
Kids and adults loved it - it was a really interesting experience! Very creative and professional. Recommend sitting closer to the stage to get a more interactive outlook, but second floor is still worth it! Thank you!
The act was incredible and I loved the background changes according to the script. The special effects was amazing. However I was lost during the songs and the dialog scene since I did not understand the language. The venue was not my favorite as well due to lack of leg space. You literally have to get up in order for someone to sit or exit. Overall..new experience!
I was very used to Pantomine while growing up in England and found this very reminiscent of those times . It was so festive and really involved the whole of the audience in the action on stage .
Adults in our group had no idea what was happening most of the time, kids either... lots of very boring parts. Would not recommend.
Very slow and boring show, I don't know what was happening most of the time. Felt like it was aimed at 5 year old with the bright colors and most of the jokes being "funny"movements from the clowns. Would definitely not recommend it to anybody expecting stuff to happen.
Very talented artist. Great visuals and imagination. We went to get the human connection piece. where the balls are tossed throughout the audience, or the material that was supposed to be used throughout the audience which wasn’t and to reach out or experience the clown walking on the back of seats. Only those in front of the balcony overhang orchestra got to experience any of that.. We left feeling left out , excluded. We were on the outside looking at others having their fun. Disappointed.
It was an amazing show! Since I was a child I wanted to watch in live this show! Highly recommended my kids loved it too! Worth every penny.
We took our 5 1/2 year old to see Slava's Snow Show and he loved it. The music went from quirky to dramatic and enhanced the visuals immensely. The interactive elements made it fun for kids and I would recommend the show to families. As an adult, I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much without my child. Watching their reactions and seeing them enjoy the show was priceless. Try to get tickets closer to the front, as you will experience parts of the show better than at the back or on the mezzanine.
Great quality show, lovely music and performances, adults would love lyrical mood, kids would love all production, please note it's not typical circus clowns show for little kids and not suitable for kids under 7-8 years old.
