Editing The Snowman (section)

===Stage version===
''The Snowman'' has been made into a stage show. It was first produced by [[Contact Theatre]], Manchester in 1986<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/theatre-news/the-snowman--the-lowry-939469 |title="The Snowman @ The Lowry"|date=16 April 2010 |website=manchestereveningnews.co.uk |access-date=24 December 2020}}</ref> and was adapted and produced by Anthony Clark. It had a full script and used Howard Blake's music and lyrics. In 1993, Birmingham Repertory Company produced a version, with music and lyrics by Howard Blake, scenario by Blake, with Bill Alexander and choreography by Robert North.

Since 1997, [[Sadler's Wells]] has presented it every year as the Christmas Show at the [[Peacock Theatre]]. As in the book and the film, there are no words, apart from the lyrics of the song "Walking in the Air". The story is told through images and movement.

Special effects include the Snowman and boy flying high over the stage (with assistance of wires and harnesses) and 'snow' falling in part of the auditorium.  The production has had several revisions – the most extensive happening in 2000, when major changes were made to the second act, introducing new characters: A Beautiful Ice Princess and a villain called Jack Frost.
