The Little Match Girl

A snowy stage sets the scene for an icy cold Christmas eve, where the little match girl paces the emptying streets, trying to sell her matches. 

Cold, hungry and with just one final match flame to keep her warm, she sees a vision of her beloved grandmother. Leaving her troubled life behind, she is guided up into the night sky by her grandmother who takes her to the moon. Now, on a clear night, if you look closely, you might see the light of a shooting star, or is it a match burning brightly?

Based on Hans Christian Andersens’ classic story and beautifully recreated through dance, song and Frank Moon’s live atmospheric music, The Little Match Girl will enthral young children and the whole family alike. The production is directed in the West End by Arthur Pita and has been amplified for the London theatre stage at Sadler’s Wells.
