The Little Match Girl in London

Returning to London this festive season is the award-winning production of The Little Match Girl, directed and choreographed by Arthur Pita.

Based on the classic fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen, this festive treat combines dance, song and live music by Frank Moon for an enchanting theatrical experience filled with humour, wonder and hope.

Originally commissioned by DanceEast, The Little Match Girl first premiered in November 2013 and has since enjoyed five hugely successful festive seasons at Sadler’s Wells and at venues across the UK and internationally.

In 2025, the production was honoured with the Hans Christian Anderson Award in Odense.
