A New Holiday Hit: Snow Mice Delights at London's Unicorn Theatre
In a charming adaptation of the popular early years show, The Egg theatre brings its signature festive flair to the magical world of Snow Mouse. This hour-long adventure, now aimed at slightly older audiences aged three to nine, is an enchanting tale of sibling bonding and discovery.
The story follows three children - Megan, Juliette, and Timmy - who have relocated from the city to the countryside after a family move. The children soon find themselves entwined in a game of hide and seek with a trio of mice who seem to materialize out of thin air. These woodland creatures guide the siblings on a journey of exploration and teamwork, teaching them valuable lessons about acceptance and cooperation.
The production boasts a delightful set design by Zoe Squire, featuring a doll's house that transforms into bunk beds under the snowfall. The clever use of lighting, courtesy of Katy Morison, creates an immersive experience that transports audiences to a winter wonderland.
The cast delivers a stellar performance, with each actor effortlessly switching between scripted dialogue and improvised interactions with the audience. Their sibling dynamic is authentic and heartwarming, drawing parallels with beloved classic 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'. The theatre's intimate setting allows for an up-close experience of the delightful puppet characters, crafted by Marc Parrett based on Edwina Bridgeman's design.
The show's score, composed by Greg Hall, is a masterful blend of mystery and mischief that perfectly complements the whimsical atmosphere. With its catchy tunes and lively energy, it adds a delightful layer to the overall experience.
Overall, Snow Mouse has cemented The Egg theatre's reputation as a premier producer of festive productions for children. By creating an original IP, they have proven their ability to grow and adapt with the changing demands of family entertainment.

I'm not sure about this one... seems like just another kid-friendly show 
, but why is it getting so much hype? Can someone tell me more about the production costs or how The Egg theatre came up with this idea? And what's with the whole "woodland creatures" vibe? Is there any scientific basis for mice materializing out of thin air in real life? 
! Its like being a kid again lol I loved how the theatre brought its signature festive flair to this magical world 
The cast is amazing, they deliver such great performances and the puppet characters are so cute 
The music is catchy too, perfect for getting u in the holiday spirit 
Can't wait to go see it myself!
and im totally sold! did u know that according to a study published in 2022, 75% of parents consider live shows an excellent way to spend quality time with their kids during the holiday season? 
stats like this are just proof that shows like snow mice delights r exactly what we need more of! 
also, have u seen the box office numbers for this production so far? they're up by 22% compared to last year's shows, which is NO JOKE 
! it's like they took every magical thing about snow mouse & turned it into a full-on production 
! the set design is SO cool, especially the part where the doll's house turns into bunk beds under the snowfall 
! i love how the actors seamlessly switch between scripted lines & improv, it makes it feel super interactive & engaging for the kids (and let's be real, adults too 
). the music is also SO catchy & perfect for getting those festive vibes going 
They've managed to capture the essence of Snow Mouse in a way that's both nostalgic for old-school Egg fans and fresh for younger audiences. 
The set design is genius, who wouldn't want to hide in a doll's house that turns into bunk beds under snowfall? 
The score is catchy and adds a delightful layer to the show. Can't wait to see more productions from The Egg theatre! 
The set design is insane, like who comes up with doll's houses that turn into bunk beds under snowfall?!?! 
And the cast is so talented, especially the sibling dynamic between Megan, Juliette, and Timmy... it's like they're my cousins or something! 
I also love how the puppets are handmade by Marc Parrett - it's just too cute for words!!! 
Can't wait to see this show with my fave brand of popcorn, Popsterz, 
! As someone who's been following The Egg theatre, I was like "yaaas, more Snow Mouse please!" 
... I just wish there were more productions like this one that focus on promoting STEM skills and environmental education 
... anyway, I'll def be checking this out with my little ones soon! 
️ i think its so cool that they're making a show like this especially since we're getting our first snow of the year this week
