Raymond Briggs’s festive favourite leaps off the page and on to the stage in this magical adaptation. When a young boy’s snowman comes to life at midnight on Christmas Eve, he’s taken on a fantastic journey to the North Pole that culminates in a jaunty jig with a bunch of international snowmen and a meeting with Santa himself. This is the 28th year of Birmingham Rep’s production at the Peacock Theatre and its parade of prancing animals and dancing fruit continues to enchant children and adults alike. A perfect Christmas outing for all the family, and expect nostalgic sniffles during the classic song “Walking in the Air”.

Picture, if you will, a Titanic museum tour that Céline Dion unexpectedly gatecrashes to narrate her own version of the film’s events, revealing what really happened to Jack and Rose. This is the premise of Titanique – a jukebox musical written by Tye Blue, Marla Mindelle and Constantine Rousouli that parodies the 1997 monster movie while utilising Dion’s back catalogue. All the hits are here, including “I Drove All Night” and, of course, “My Heart Will Go On”. Camper than a row of tents, the off-Broadway production received high praise from punters and critics alike and the London production continues to keep audiences in stitches at the Criterion.

In a theatrical landscape overstuffed with Nutcracker ballets, this refreshingly cheeky take on the story, from award-winning theatre company Little Bulb, stands apart. Reimagining the tale and setting it in London — and told by a band of musical mice — The Nutcracker is suddenly a hilarious and bewitching theatrical treat for the whole family, featuring comic adventure, big laughs, and enough singalong Christmas bangers to have everyone dancing in their seats. Irresistible, and just a little bit cheesy.

Leave it to those joyous mischief-makers at Mischief Theatre (the creators of The Play That Goes Wrong, The Comedy About Spies and other smash hits) to have a bit of festive fun with that most beloved of all Christmas classics, finding crazy comedy amidst the chaos.
