The show was low in content and excitement and didn’t match the hype

It's hard to describe to people ...you just have to experience it. Sad yet funny, quiet yet absolutely manic . It feels like the entirw show has been very carefully crafted to catch everyone of your senses. Perhaps this reads a little over the top...but trust me ..when you finally tear yourself away com the theatre..it takes a while to normalise back to sensible adulthood! What an amazingly talented group of people. !

Marvellous effects. However, short performance for the price of the tickets and few actors.

You'll be hard pushed to find something as intriguing and brilliant as Slava's Snow Show. I've seen this twice now - once as a child and then 15 years later as an adult, and I love it more each time. This show is for all audiences of any age, nationality or sense of humour. Pure joy and pure fun. Relax and be astounded at the precision behind every movement, facial expression and prop, sure you bring you nothing but a massive smile for days afterwards.

I liked the show effects in the end, but the rest was a bit boring. My two girls - 8 and 10 years old were also not very impressed as the show was a bit slow and looking at the sad clown also wasn't very nice site.

Saw it about 10 years ago, then again last night. Loved it both times. Wonderful. And the kids were enthralled. Very best wishes Slava.

Simple. Provoking. Stunning and fun no matter what your age. Will connect you to your inner clown.

My grandson (12 years old) and I decided after the first half that there was no story to follow and that the show is made up of sketches and also there was no speech ( that we could understand ) But we soon got over these hurdles to enjoy the show. We both decided the second half was the most enjoyable. We loved the the almost never ending snow and the planets flying around our heads. For me it was so enjoyable to see children squealing and screaming and running round to collect as much snow as possible only to throw it up in the air again. I'm still finding snow this morning!! Brilliant show where children are rewarded with snow for sitting still .

Loved this quirky collection of scenarios - very interactive and well executed. Went to matinee so lots of kids all having a lot of fun. Music a bit loud at times but that may well be me!

This is definitely a children's show but charming & magical for adults as well. It's a fabulous introduction to theatre for children. The first half is quite slow & quiet with some sudden unexpected very special effects. The second half is completely integrated with the audience, a riot of colour & movement it is absolutely Spectacular! Those children will never foget it.

The show was nice, a bit slow at times. The music was kinda sad. It was mostly suitable for children, but I had initially thought it was a "circus show for grown ups". Nonetheless I enjoyes the perfrormance and especiallt the interactive episodes with the falling snow and giant bouncing balls

The most bizarre boring and disappointing show I have ever seen. Complete waste of money.

A great fun family show which is visually amazing, funny and poignant. Great interaction with the audience throughout. Absolutely brilliant and better than any traditional panto!

Slow start to the performance. Only 3 good short moments which include good effects and interaction with audience. Otherwise quite boring and abstract. Humour for acquired taste, no slapstick clown humour as expected. No acrobatic or circus style performance. I would go and see it again.

If you want something a bit different to the usual Christmas panto then this could be the show for you! Quite bizarre in parts, also a little slow at times, but all in all, a great fun, family show! You have to see it once, just for the hell of it!

I enjoyed the show from start to finish. Slava and his fellow clowns put on a great show, full of cleverly entertaining sketches. My only complaint was that, due to the way the seating is arranged, with one row of seats positioned directly behind the other, my view was partially obscured by the the head of the person sitting in front of me, spoiling my watching the show a lot of the time.

That was the most nonsensical garbage I've ever seen. How is it a family show when clown wants to hang himself right at the start of the show. The show was more a horror story than an magical work of wonder. However, it was a magical work of wondering what the hell was going on??? There's a reason why these tickets are discounted. GO AT YOUR OWN RISK.

We recently saw the Slava Snow Show at the Royal Festival Hall at the Southbank Centre. I can honestly say it was the most spectacular show we have ever seen. It was breathtakingly beautiful and a magical experience. Highly recommend the Slava Snow Show to others.

Saw this show 5 years ago and was blown away then by the magic of small movement and slow pace. BUT This time around it felt like an assault course of overly loud music and circus ring clowning. Not recommended unless you are 6. Was so disappointed.

Our forth time seeing this amazing show and yet we were as thrilled as if it were our first! The clowns are just awesome and the special effects awesomely amazing! The sketch with the hatstand and raincoat is genius. Please ask Slava to come to Canterbury next December.

Thoroughly enjoyable. The only down -side was that the music was too loud, especially in the first half. Not good for anybody's hearing especially for children.

Simply a horrible show. Why have we been punished for the not insignificant amount we paid? Negative value for money!!! It starts with two suicidal slow pacing clowns, and does not improve much from there. The music is louder than at a rock concert, my children insisting on skipping the second part as they said the earache and headache they got from the first one were already bad enough to make them want to endure more. Note there is no warning that the noise level involves such high decibels that are not good for children or adults of any age. Soap bubbles and a handful of glitter stars instead of snow. The first part ends with the ushers covering the audience with a filthy synthetic spiderweb - can't see the fun aspect of that! Easy to believe the ushers that the second part was better (a snow storm made of paper strips and the eventual opportunity to touch balloons at the very end) but the duration of that "entertainment" seems to be exactly as much as shown on the trailer. Save your money for something else.
