News Last Chance: Slava's Snowshow Melts Away From Denver Center, Sept. 27 Slava's Snowshow, a Russian clown act featuring Slava Polunin which has played London and Toronto, will conclude its three-week run at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts Sept. 27.

Slava's Snowshow, a Russian clown act featuring Slava Polunin which has played London and Toronto, will conclude its three-week run at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts Sept. 27.

A spokesperson at the center said it was her understanding the engagement was part of a pre-Broadway run. The production had been scheduled to move into the Belasco Theatre Oct. 13 for a run through Dec. 27 (opening Oct. 27), but a production spokesperson at the Boneau Bryan Brown press office reconfirmed (Sept. 25) that the show's NY plans have been indefinitely postponed.

From Denver, Slava will travel to the Royal Alexander Theatre in Toronto, where it will play Dec. 29, 1998-Jan. 17, 1999. There are also tentative plans for a following Seattle engagement.

Among Polunin's many visual feats are one in which he boards a train and then becomes the train, with smoke billowing out of his top hat. In another, he gets stuck in a web of unspun cotton and clambers over the seats in the auditorium, taking the web with him, until it envelopes much of the audience. In the show's most talked-about scene, he tears a letter into pieces, the bits turn into snow flakes, the flakes become a blizzard and gradually the entire auditorium becomes a raging, whirling, blinding storm that engulfs the audience knee-deep in snow.

Slava's Snowshow had a month-long run at Toronto's Princess of Wales Theatre last winter. For tickets to the Denver engagement call (303) 893-4100.
