"Snowshow is to clowning what Cirque du Soleil is to circus.Slava’sSnowshow is as theatrical as it is simple, as involving as it is inspiring.”
- Variety, USA
The multi-award-winning international sensation Slava’s Snowshow storms into the Sands Theater at Marina Bay Sands in August 2012 for a limited season. Tickets are on sale now.
Since its creation by renowned Russian clown Slava Poluninin 1993, Slava’s Snowshow has played to over millions of people in more than 30 countries and 120 cities including New York, London, Los Angeles, Paris, Rome, Hong Kong, Sydney, Rio de Janeiro and Moscow.
The show has garnered worldwide popular and critical acclaim, as well as a growing number of awards — in the USA Slava’s Snowshow earned a Tony nomination for Special Theatrical Event in 2009 and won the Drama Desk Award in 2005 for Unique Theatrical Experience; in the UK,the Olivier Award for Best Entertainment (1998) and the Time Out Award (1994);and in Australia, the Helpmann Award for Best Visual or Physical Theatre (2000); as well as a host of other awards in Russia, France, Mexico, Denmark, Spain and the UK. Slava’s Snowshow has been lauded as "a theatre classic of the 20th century" by The Times in London, and Slava Polunin praised as "the best clown in the world".
"The single most beautiful thing I have ever seen in a theatre in my life."
-Simon Callow, Sunday Express, UK
Slava Polunin created his Snowshow following his sensational performance as part of Cirque du Soleil’s Alegria, drawing on the influence of artists such as Charlie Chaplin, Marcel Marceau and Leonid Engibarov. He and his company of clowns have taken clowning out of the world of circus, and brought it into the theater. Slava’s Snowshow is a fusion of traditional and contemporary theatrical clowning arts, and a beautifully crafted visual spectacle.
The show brilliantly creates a world of wonderment and fantasy that transports the audience to a joyous dream-like place, where a bed becomes a boat in a storm-tossed sea; a woman is wrapped in cellophane and becomes flowers in a vase; a child walks in amazement inside a bubble; Slava boards a train and then becomes the train, his chimney-pot hat billowing smoke; and a web of unspun cotton envelopes the audience. The stunning finale sees a letter turn into snowflakes, and the flakes turn into a snowstorm, which whirls around the auditorium, leaving the audience ankle-deep in snow. Slava’s Snowshow is a visual masterpiece loved by children and adults alike.
An unmistakably unique, unmissable comedy masterpiece… It is simply and childishly thrilling, it fills you with innocent amazement and it is lyrically beautiful.”

SLAVA'S SNOWSHOW is presented by BASE Entertainment and Lunchbox Theatrical Productions with Slava and Gwenael Allan
