Celebrate the 80th anniversary of global phenomenon The Moomins - Booking is now open!
Moomin Characters and Jacksons Lane announce that tickets are now on sale for a new stage adaptation of Christmas Comes to Moominvalley which will receive its world première at the recently refurbished north London arts venue this Christmas.
Christmas Comes to Moominvalley opens at Jacksons Lane on 7 December 2024, with a preview performance on 6 December and press night on 13 December, and runs until 5 January 2025. Full casting is to be announced.
Featuring acrobatics and juggling, this will be the first time that a Moomin show has been created using contemporary circus. This enchanting new adaptation of Tove Jansson's classic tale, The Fir Tree, has been commissioned especially for the 80th anniversary of the global phenomenon The Moomins and as part of Jacksons Lane’s 50th birthday programme.
“Christmas is coming and here you are asleep! This won’t do at all!”
The Moomins are woken up from their winter sleep to be told that 'Christmas' is coming. The only trouble is, the puzzled Moomins have no idea who, or what 'Christmas' is . . .
Audiences of all ages will be captivated by the lovable Moomintroll, his parents, Moominmamma and Moominpappa and all their friends. The Moomin family demonstrate their special values of tolerance, kindness and integrity, as they prepare for their first Christmas - helping us understand what the festive season is really all about.
