MAGICAL SHOW “SNOWS” ON LOS ANGELES
by Marilyn Anderson
“Slava’s Snowshow” is an internationally acclaimed theatrical experience that has its Los Angeles premiere over the holidays. It’s a spellbinding show that blends the art of clowning with stunning spectacle and inspiring visual images and fantasy. Filled with humor, poignancy, and imagination, it uniquely captures and entertains the child in all of us.
A veritable fantasia on snow – the evening includes everything from squirt bottles, giant beach ball balloons, blinding fog, miniature houses with tiny lights – and a sensational climax with a heart-stopping snowstorm that engulfs the entire audience.
The creator, Slava Polunin, was born in a small town in Russia, and spent his childhood in forests, fields, and by a river – enjoying every winter in a world of snow. His love of fantasy and whimsy led him to become a clown and then to found his own theater company, which moved clowning out of the circus, onto the streets, and then into the major theaters of the world.
“Slava’s Snowshow” has been seen by audiences in 25 countries and 80 cities around the world and is the winner of the Olivier Award in London for “Best Entertainment.” The show continues its third successful year off-Broadway in New York – and now has a limited run of 31 performances in Los Angeles – from Tuesday, December 12, 2006 – Sunday, January 7, 2007, at UCLA Live’s Royce Hall on the UCLA Campus.
Bring your children – or just your “inner child” – for a magical and joyous snow-filled holiday spectacular.
