The Snow Gorilla blends circus, pantomime, and musical storytelling in a whimsical Christmas spectacular. Orphan boy Sunny runs away to Circus Marigny and befriends Gor—a giant, talking gorilla voiced by Brian Blessed. Together they expose a crafty magician sabotaging the circus, discover love, and find belonging. A vibrant mix of acrobatics, flamenco, puppetry, and live music makes this a spirited, heartwarming show for all ages.
