Our New Zealand tour has been even more successful than we hoped. The sold out Christchurch Arts Festival run closed Sunday; and the Taranaki Arts Festival run just opened, with every seat sold in advance.
Christchurch’s Head of Communications, Garreth Spillane, wrote: Having been working on the Festival and marketing the Solid Energy Season of SLAVA’S SNOWSHOW for four months now, I have to admit that SLAVA fatigue was beginning to set in. This morning however I sat in the St James Theatre and managed to be blown away by this fabulous show. SLAVA’S SNOWSHOW is a work of magic that will enrich its audience – it celebrates humanity and theatricality and the wonder of what can be done when a simple idea is executed perfectly. Please, don’t miss it!
