A TOBACCO FACTORY THEATRES, NEW INTERNATIONAL ENCOUNTER AND CAMBRIDGE JUNCTION CO-PRODUCTION
Join Gerda on her quest to the frozen north as she tries to save her best-friend Kaj from the icy, wicked clutches of The Snow Queen.
Bursting at the seams with rich acoustic music and brought to life by a multi-talented cast, this unforgettable folk tale is full of heart, courage and a lot of laughter. Remember to wrap up warm as we hop on-board a Nordic sleigh, adventure through a mystical land of snow and magic and even fly through the sky with a bicycling reindeer!
Having delighted audiences with Beauty and The Beast (2017) and Snow White (2019), Tobacco Factory Theatres are thrilled to partner once more with the award-winning New International Encounter and Cambridge Junction to bring you this joyful festive experience.
