REVIEW
Over the weekend, my family and I headed to Oldham Library to see The Night The Frost Fell as we were kindly invited.
We absolutely loved it! The kids were enthralled from the very start, it’s full of music and song which kept my three engaged throughout.
All three children enjoyed it, the youngest being 6 and the eldest now 10 years old. I loved the light used the performance. For most of the show, the stage was set to emphasis the cold and dark, but the use of lighting in parts was just magical!
My little girl especially loved the light up fairy wings!
We loved the giant props that seemed to magically arrive on the stage including a massive Jack Frost and a huge polar bear!
Overall, the whole family enjoyed it. It was a heartwarming and magical show perfect for the festive season! There’s something for everyone.
Out and about mummy
