A synopsis for the musical teases:
Snowflake is a fast /paced, kaleidoscopic musical which explores the tricky nature of sexual identity in a world obsessed with labels. The piece follows a group of twenty-somethings navigating the complexities of millennial life from open relationships to monogamy, virtue signalling to avocados. The musical challenges the box that you and society put yourself in, and asks how we can rewrite our narrative, when society seems so intent on controlling the parameters.
Powell commented: “During this time we wondered what the best way to launch Snowflake would be. Seeing as an integral part of the show is centered around the internet, this seemed like an interesting blend of worlds!
“We’re thrilled to have brought together a cast of really exciting 2020 grads and west end performers including: Rob Houchen, Grace Mouat, Molly Lynch, Julie Atherton- to name a few! They have all been incredibly supportive in bringing the show to life, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the industry doing its best to nurture new work in this very scary time for theatre!”
Cornay added: “After working on the project for nearly two years, It’s incredibly exciting to see it coming to life. The themes and messages of the show are really important to me, and I hope they will strike a chord (if you’ll pardon the pun) with audiences.”
