Reviews

Chris: 28Dec24:
After watching It's a Wonderful Life by this same company last year, we were really hopeful for The Snow Queen to have the same quality. Unfortunately the story just wasn't there. The performance felt really dragged out with multiple scenes that didn't really add anything. The puppetry was well done, but not of enough quantity to save what was a very bland script.
