The Snowman
My previous experience of Sadlers Wells has always been excellent, but I feel that the Snowman performance I watched 29th Dec 24, was disappointing. The boy who plaid James looked lost and lacked in energy; I think my own children could have performed the dance moves with better fines. Maybe because this was a 11am performance Sadlers Wells produced their C or D team. Some of the adult performers like the ballerina was great, however, many of the adults also seemed to lack energy or any fines to their dance. This is not the standard that I expect from a major company like Sadlers Wells. I heard very good things about 'The Snow Man' and I left disappointed. I understand that the 11am show is filled with small children which is absolutely fine and expected, however, you should have someone monitoring the traffic going continuously in and out at the door. The constant banging could have been stopped by either a slower shutting door or by someone monitoring the door. I really would not recommend this show to anyone, quite the opposite. This is for the show, the orchestra was absolutely brilliant.
