Entertaining, Quirky, Masterful, Hilarious, Enchanting

See it if you want to see something joyful and completely out of the box on the Broadway stage, and if you're a fan of clowning.

Don't see it if you want to sit back and not be part of the action (there is audience participation of sorts), or if clowning isn't your cup of tea.

Critic Reviews (10)

"Then, unlike anything else, there is 'Slava's Snowshow,' the amazing spectacle...There is the moon, the train, smoke, explosions...As Act One ends with a little help from the audience, you are captured by their ingenuity, like a spider drawing you into their web."

"Confetti, water, fusillades of giant beach balls dumped on, squirted and shot at the audience...(In this) silly, wordless, plotless, pointless and popular show Much of the show is a series of moments too sketchy to be called scenes and too scenic to be called sketches."
