If you’re ready to truly see a world of wonderment and fantasy, Slava’s Snowshow will take you there.
A bed becomes a boat in a storm-tossed sea; a woman is wrapped in cellophane and becomes flowers in a vase, a child walks in amazement inside a bubble, Slava boards a train and he becomes the train itself.
And be prepared to leave the WAC hall in ankle-deep snow!
How would you like to go to this “cool” show for free? Good. We’ll give TWO winners FOUR tickets each to see the show on opening night!

My 6 year old thinks winter is over because we didn’t have snow. Would love to see this show!
I would LOVE to take my girls to this show!
Would love to win tickets to this show it looks so cool to take the kids! A memorable evening show we had recently was we took our children to see the Acrobats of China show in Branson.
I brought my daughter to the nutcracker and she absolutely loved it. I was nervous at 4 if she would have the attention for it.
She wants to be a dancer now and we practice often.
We would love to attend this show. They mentioned it at the nutcracker and it’s been at the forefront of our mind.
Thank you
Alyssa
My children are in awe when it snows! If it’s going to be this cold, we need snow!
My kids saw the commercial and thought it looked really cool. I would loe to win.
An awe-inspiring event for me was witnessing the birth of my nephew, who is now ten years old and happens to be dying to see this show.
I went to Niagara Falls shortly after I got married. The sheer magnitude of the falls was awe-inspiring.
Not be to be cheesy. ….but my kids and their love for Christ! It’s awe inspiring to me no doubt!!
My kids would love this
My first time seeing the ocean! I couldn’t comprehend water that went on further than I could see. We would love to win tickets to this show!!
We went whale-watching this past summer and ended up in a pod of over 500 dolphins. VERY awesome!!!
I know our kiddos would enjoy this show – they’ve both been driving me crazy asking when it is going to snow!
The births of our children were definitely awe-inspiring!
My 5 year old would LOVE to be a part of this amazing show!!! An awe-inspiring event for me would be my first trip out of the country to Jamaica – that country is full of culture and truly one of my favorite trips yet.
We survived the tornado outbreak of 2011. Living in north Alabama at the time, it was probably the most terrifying day of my life. Several friends lost their homes. Several lives in our community were lost. The wreckage was literally like something you have never seen before. We pressed on tho. Helping our community, cleaning debris any chance we got. Our children were involved as well. Something we will never forget. Mother Nature can be very frightening. Praising God for His mercy that day.
We would love to see this show. We’ve been seeing commercials for it on TV and the kids are in awe!
I’ll never forget moving to Arkansas from California! I was in the third grade and was terrified because I knew there would be a chance of tornados. That is all my sisters would talk about. The first night in Greenwood, AR, almost 30 years ago, i am awaken to thunder, and loud roaring. We were staying with my grandma so we were lucky to have access to a shelter. I was hurried outside in the pouring rain and was still a bit groggy but I’ll never forget the feeling of complete horror as we went across the yard to the shelter. We slept there the rest of the night. To this day, I still have nightmares!
The grand canyon was amazingly awe-inspiring. The colors, the depth, the beauty and awesomeness! Knowing that God can carve something like that with His finger…
My son asks about snow EVERY morning. We have had a package of carrots in the fridge since Thanksgiving, ready to build a snowman once the snow comes! he would LOVE to see this show.
I commented and shared on facebook!
My mom took me to see cats when I was younger and I was awestruck by the theater. It is a passion that I try to share with my kids as much as I can. There is nothing like seeing the performers live. I would love to take my family to see this show!
Every time we scuba dive as a family its awe inspiring. This show looks really fun!
I still live seeing pictures from the ice storm in ’09. It was crazy but beautiful.
My kids would love to go!
An awe inspiring moment for me was the time my twuns played in the snow for the first time.
The first time I saw the ocean as a child, amazing!
The first time ,and every time, I see the earth from an airplane is awe inspiring to me. I would love to take my nephew to this show. I think he would love it.
I have been looking for a great opportunity to introduce my 9-year-old, sports-fanatic boy to live theatre and this sounds like a perfect fit! Awe-inspiring moment – we moved here from aDallas suburb and I wasn’t prepared for the pure joy and surprise my son felt as he looked up to see a starry sky not muted by the bright lights of the city. We got a sleeping bag and laid there as he took it all in!
I am in awe every time I look at my kids. Not always in a good way cause kids do “things”, LOL, but for the most part…
I know they would love to attend this event!
my holiday trip from here to the four corners was an amazing experience. the beauty of God’s creation is awe inspiring for sure.
The Cliffs of Mhore in Ireland were amazing!
We have so many awe inspiring places to see in America. I’m always amazed by the beauty and wonder of Mother Nature.
Being at the hospital when my best friend gave birth to healthy twin babies. It was awesome.
My daughter would love to see this! She would be on completely in awe of this show!
I good memory was seeing my dad and mom performed as clowns. They had skits, did games and my girls performed with them. (They used to work in circus, schools and parties) Unfortunately, they moved so I am not able to enjoy that special bond. It would be the world to me if I could take my kids and see this specific show. Thank you!
In early November, I stood on top of Hare Mountain on the ozark highlands trail and saw the awe-inspiring last remnants of fall in Arkansas. It was truly beautiful. My kiddos and I would love to see Snowshow. Thanks!
The OK City Bombing Museam.
Listening to my daughters read stories to me the first few times!
I am inspired every day by my son’s love of life. I am inspired by my old dogs’ get up and go. I am inspired by so very many people who face such incredible challenges every single day. I am inspired by those who find the time, energy, money,…to help others. I am inspired by anyone who is friendly, smiling, courteous, polite…and i sure cannot forget how inspired i am by those who are patient and appreciative!
The first time I saw the Arkansas River as we were riding the tram down to the bottom of the Royal Gorge when I was 8 years old, I was so in awe that the only thing I could do was cry. It really freaked my little brother out that I was happy and crying 🙂
Seeing a tornado is very awe inspiring! We have seen a couple .. I also think snow and ice are awesome! Those little flakes and particles are so beautiful up close!
Both of my children’s christenings. It still makes me choke up to look at the pictures.
I think the most awe inspiring moment I’ve had was when my daughter was born. My husband and I tried for 1-1/2 years before we finally got her. I remember being amazed at how tiny this child was that had been kicking the living daylights out of be for the past few months and at how much love I felt for this little girl whom I had just met.
Sharing books, music, art and movies I love with my daughter and seeing their beauty light up her face and engage her mind like they do mine.
An absolutely awe-inspiriting experience for me was seeing a Picasso for the first time at the Met in NYC. Would be excited to see Slava’s Snow Show. Thanks for the giveaway. I also commented on your FB page.
When my daughter entered her first pageant. I never dreamed of her winning and when she came in first place for her age group I cried just like I did when she took her first step.
Let it Snow! Looks like do much fun.
My little boy and girl would love this! My little girl got to go to the aquarium for the first time this summer. She walked around with wide eyes the whole day!
Cirque de solei in Las Vegas – “O” was amazing & awe inspiring!! My kids would definitely think the same about this show! 🙂
Awe inspiring would have to be birthing my boys & I know they would truly love to see Slava’s Snow Show
The birth of my 5th child was truly AWE~inspiring! I was diagnosed with stage 3 Triple Negative BC while pregnant with my 5th baby. I underwent 3 surgeries & 5 rounds of chemo, 2 blood transfusions and many many ER hospital visits all while pregnant. We placed our daughter into the Lords hands that he would keep her safe and that she would be born healthy. She was born 6 1/2 wks early via emergency csection..weighing 4 lbs 13onces she was perfect in everyway! She was a miracle…the moment on the operating table that Dr. Gorman placed her by me so I could catch a glimpse of her, was truly AWE-Inspiring to me…she was in the NICU unit for 2wks, got down to under 4lbs and bk up to 5lbs and was able to come home. She is now almost 5 and a healthy, happy little girl. Gods love and miracles always put me in AWE, but to have truly lived that moment was the most Aweing yet.
The first time I took my daughter to Disney World, when we walked through the gates at Magic Kingdom and she saw Cinderella’s castle and say ‘Mommy, it’s really real!’ It’s moments like those I’ll cherish forever! Would love to take my family to see the show!
We visited the Colosseum in Rome last month. We had read about it prior to going but seeing the 2,000 year old structure in person was truly awe-inspiring,
Awe-inspiring for me was meeting my sons birth parents for the first time and they chose us to be the parents. Now I would like to take my precious boy to this show. He loves snow!!!!
The births of my kiddos, of course!
I remember attending a play for the first time with my elementary school last as a kid. I had never seen a live play before. It was magical!
I would have to say that hearing my babies’ heartbeats for the first time was the most awe inspiring experience I’ve ever had! Instant tears! All the feelings! ☺️
An awe inspiring moment for me was when my first child was born!
The ice storm a few years back in NWA was quite the storm. I remember watching in amazement from our front window of the ice stacking up on the tree branches, cars, streets, and power lines. It was also amazing to see how our community pulled together to help those without power, groceries, or heat. Mother Nature is powerful!
The amount of snow we got last year was pretty awe-inspiring!!
Would love to see this show!
When my family went on a Disney cruise was definitely awe inspiring!
My awe-inspiring moment is when I saw one of the students at my school walk several feet without her crutches.
I would love to win tickets! My awe inspiring event was the huge ice storm that hit NWA a few years ago. Everything was beautiful covered in a sheet of ice.
When we had to drive home for my dad’s funeral, we saw a full double rainbow. I know that was a gift from him.
My most recent awe inspiring moment was just recently when my 13 year old and I went to NYC . We spent a day at the 9/11 museum. We were there for hours and it literally took my breath away. Amazing the untold stories I heard that day.
Would love to take my children they love theater and ju at don’t have the money to take them.
An awe – inspiring event in my life was seeing the Lion King on Broadway in NYC with my mom . We took a mother daughter trip shortly after finding out she had pancreatic cancer. It is a trip I will treasure always. She instilled a love of theater in my family.
I loved my first visit to the circus in Charlotte, NC when I was a little girl!!
My daughter would LOVE a chance to see this show!!! She asked a few days ago if we could go, and it is just too expensive for us!!
oh… and I shared on FB!
An awe-inspiring moment is definitely vacation times to the beach for our family. We have been to the Oregon coast and to Florida’s beaches as well. Deep sea fishing was the best. My youngest kiddos would love this show as they all would love to be a part of the show. So interactive. We’d love this.
The ice storm of 2009 here in northwest Arkansas was awe-inspiring. I sat up most of the night listening to tree limbs crash to the ground all around our house. The next morning, we awoke to a wonderland of glittering ice covering every surface. Amazing how much destruction came from such beauty!
My most awe inspiring moment was being in the delivery room and seeing the birth of my grandchildren. It’s so special to be there to watch them come into the world. And if i win this, they are ones I will be taking with me. They are our heart and soul. And they’ve seen the commercial and really really want to see this show. Thank you for the opportunity.
My awe-inspiring moment(s) were the births of my children. They truly are God’s greatest gifts!
Would love to win tickets to Slava’s Snow Show – my family is dying to see this!! We love the Walton Arts Center!!
When I was in 12th grade, my church youth group took a trip to the Bahammas. It was amazingly beautiful!
My most awe inspiring moment was when my kids were born. I never knew I could love someone so much it hurt. And then I looked for the owners manual to help. Ha ha :). I would love to take my family to see this show. It would be my kids first time to see something like that .. It would be cool and another awe inspiring moment 🙂
Seeing my daughter for the first time was my awe inspiring moment!!
Gotta go with the crowd and say seeing my new babies was awe-inspiring. I’d love to take them to see this show.! I’m going to go comment on your Facebook page, too.
I remember going to see The Blue Man Group for the first time. I was mesmerized by the whole performance. They made it so much fun and I laughed so much. What an amazing time.
when I was 11 years old I went snorkeling in the Gulf of Mexico and is was life changing. I had never seen such beauty!
I was in complete awe when I saw cirque de soleil for the first time.
Well, since this is a WAC give away….I was amazed at the performance and once again moved by the story of Les Miserables. Such an incredible story of forgiveness and hope.
My senior year of high school I went on a class trip to Chicago and while in the park a tornado came through. My teacher, another classmate and myself hide under a concrete picnic bench until it passed. Talk about scary…
The first time I saw Niagara Falls! The feeling of amazement was so worth the drive from Springdale to Toronto and back! Following on Twitter, Pinterest, and Facebook too!
I am new to Northwest Arkansas so I don’t know my way around well. On Thanksgiving day I was going to my brother’s house. I somehow ended up on a rural road. And on that road I saw the most breathtaking view I had ever seen. From the top of the mountain I could see down into a valley. It was so beautiful like one of those autumn scenes you see in calendars.
When I was in College I got to spend the summer in Maui, Hawai’i. The whole experience was wonderful especially the Sunsets, and I gained new respect for the ocean. Both were aw-inspiring.
In 1996 I flew my very first time ever to France and it was aw-inspiring to not only see the Eifel tower and the south of France but to also meet my pen pal of 20+ years. I went there to be in her wedding. We remain friends to this day
My dyslexic son enjoying a book – without me forcing him to read. What a awesome thing.
when i went to florida for a wedding in key west i got to do all kinds of amazing things like go snorkeling, i got to eat at sunset pier, i also got to go on a ghost tour and saw rabert the dalles house, and then on our way home i got to ride dolphins
i have always wanted to go to a circus and now i could have a chance to see what it is like without having to walk around for hours
I would love to win tickets! My awe inspiring event was the huge ice storm that hit NWA a few years ago. Everything was beautiful covered in a sheet of ice. until the tree limbs fell on our house. Scary!!!
Oh wow! This looks absolutely amazing! I would love to win tickets for a family night out. We recently went and watched Marvel Live and it was knew of the most amazing live events I’ve ever witnessed! Its a must for any comic book fan kid and adults alike#
The winter we had the ice storm. No electric for a week. The whole week was crazy. Got chicken from grocery store deli. So we could have a hot meal.
This show would be an awesome experience for the whole family. Think even my hubby would enjoy it. Gotta see snow somewhere (since it looks like we might not get much this year)!!! Or at least not as of yet.
I love seeing my kids get excited over the small things in life.
I think the first time I saw the Lion King on stage I was in awe of how the animals moved.
