Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s classic story, Arthur Pita presents a beautiful recreation of The Little Match Girl through dance, song and Frank Moon’s live atmospheric music. Perfect for the whole family this festive season.
The smash-hit dance production has been given a revamp for this year's Christmas season at Sadler's Wells. The COVID-secure event will play a strictly limited season with tickets expected to be in incredibly high demand.
On an icy cold Christmas Eve in an imaginary Italian town, the little match girl wanders the streets with just one final match to keep her warm. Journey with her as she encounters moments of true kindness and sheer malice in an endlessly imaginative world. The production is directed in the West End by Arthur Pita and has been amplified for the London theatre stage at Sadler's Wells.
We talked to The Little Match Girl Director, Arthur Pita to ask him some questions about the upcoming production and how the show has been amplified for the Sadler's Wells stage.
