★★★★ Green Room Reviews
“Louise Haddington’s adaptation is by the book but has immense charm. It stays close to the original and wisely eschews the temptation to over-egg the moral message” Reviews Hub
“(Freya) Crompton’s Snow Queen herself struck a balance between being appropriately icy (for the character, that is) and not being so terrifying as to ruin the evening for younger patrons.” ★★★★ LondonTheatre1.com
“A super duper Christmas show for a family aged between 6 – 60 plus years” Chiswick W4
“Once again the Tabard have created festive magic!” ★★★★ Bohemian Britain
From the creative team that brought you the Tabard’s Five Children and It and The Secret Garden comes an unforgettable and thrilling adventure for the whole family.
