The classic children's tale given an exciting theatrical twist - set amidst the backdrop of a war led by the evil Snow Queen's militia against the forces of good.
With the aid of her henchman, the weasly Major Cobweb, and her various troops (including street-dancing Polar Bear Guards) she captures and holds prisoner young Kay, and it is down to his family and friends to release him from her clutches before she brainwashes him into her evil ways. Encountering everything the Snow Queen can throw in their way, the odds are stacked against them - can they free Kay, bring peace to the land and end the Snow Queen's winter?
A stunningly designed and staged piece, with the majority of the action taking place on a "catwalk" thrust through the audience with motorbikes, skateboarding vagabonds and sleighs galore. A massive wow of a show with the Christmas family audience.
