Snow Mice! review – Christmassy critters play hide and squeak in winter wonderland

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? 🐭💫

OMG, I'm so glad to see a new holiday show coming out 🎄👍! As someone who's been following The Egg theatre, I was like "yaaas, more Snow Mouse please!" 😂 This adaptation for older kids is perfect - it's still got that whimsical magic but with some added depth. The set design and lighting are insane 🤩, it looks so cozy and festive! The cast sounds amazing too - I love when the actors can just go off script and connect with the audience on a more personal level. And that score? 🔥 Masterclass material. Can't wait to see this show live, is it coming to NYC?
 
omg i just love snow mouse lol i saw the trailer on youtube and its so adorable 🐭💫 but is there gonna be a sequel? 😂 my little bro loves puppets too, maybe we can see more of the woodland creatures soon? also whats with the name "snow mouse" tho isnt it supposed to be snow mice?? 🤔😅
 
I'm not sure if I'd take my mini-me there 🤔... but seriously, it sounds like The Egg theatre is killing it with this Snow Mouse adaptation! The idea of woodland creatures guiding kids on a journey of exploration and teamwork feels really cool. And the fact that they're aiming for a slightly older audience aged 3-9 means it's gonna be a more engaging show for parents too 👪👧... 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! ❤️
 
This new holiday production is actually making me think about how our perception of childhood magic changes as we age... I mean, we all still love a good Snow Mouse adventure, but it's interesting that this one is geared towards slightly older kids now 🤔. Is it just me, or do you think that's because the early years shows are more about escapism for younger viewers, whereas the older audience can appreciate the nuances of character development and storytelling? And what does it say about our society that we're willing to adapt these stories to suit different age groups but still keep the core themes of acceptance and cooperation intact 💡.
 
I just saw this ad for Snow Mice Delights at London's Unicorn Theatre 🎭🐭 and I gotta say, it looks like a whole lotta fun for kids! I love how they're adapting a classic early years show to appeal to slightly older audiences - it's great that The Egg theatre is trying new things without straying from their core values. 💖 The set design and lighting sound simply magical ✨🔥. And I'm curious, have anyone else seen this production? What did you think of it?! 🤔
 
omg i just saw this ad for snow mouse on facebook and i'm literally DYING over here 🤣 my little cousins are already asking me if we can get tickets for christmas 🎅️ 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 ❄️ it's gonna be a great holiday tradition for our family
 
I'm loving this new holiday show at Unicorn Theatre! They've totally revamped the classic Snow Mouse concept for older kids now. I mean, my little cousin was glued to her tablet watching The Egg theatre's old shows when she was younger, but now that she's a bit older, she's enjoying this new adaptation. It's so cool how they incorporated puppet characters and set design – it's like stepping into a magical world! 😊 The energy in the theatre is infectious, I can tell my own kids would have a blast there. And that score? Totally catchy! Maybe we'll even catch a show before Christmas... 🎄
 
The revival of traditional storytelling through immersive theatrical experiences is truly captivating 😊. I must say, Snow Mouse has managed to transport its audience to a whimsical winter wonderland, seamlessly blending puppetry, set design, and soundscapes to create an enchanting experience for both children and adults alike 🎭. The production's focus on sibling bonding and teamwork resonates deeply, highlighting the importance of empathy and cooperation in building meaningful relationships 👫. What I find particularly noteworthy is The Egg theatre's ability to adapt their signature style to suit a broader age range, ensuring that the magic of Snow Mouse remains accessible to a new generation of young audiences 🌟.

I'm not sure about this new holiday thing... I mean, it sounds cute, but are we really gonna spend another hour watching kids play with mice on stage? 🤔 I love The Egg theatre, don't get me wrong, they're always doing something magical. But I think this Snow Mouse adaptation is just a bit too much for my taste. Too many people saying it's "delightful" and "charming", maybe they just haven't seen the rest of their shows? 💁‍♀️ On the other hand, that set design does look pretty epic... 🤩
 
I'm so down for a show like this 🎭! The idea of sibling bonding and exploration is just perfect for this age group 👧🏼👦🏻. I love how it's not too 'kiddie' but still fun and engaging for the whole family 😊. The set design sounds amazing, especially that doll's house transformation 🤩! It's great to see The Egg theatre pushing boundaries and creating original IPs - they're definitely on a roll 💥.
