The reviewer wrote: " 'Slava’s Snowshow' is a puzzling theatrical art form, but strangely alluring to watch as I couldn’t take my eyes off the performers. Their movements are precisely choreographed and timed either to the music or the sounds echoing throughout the auditorium."

The show ran on Broadway at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre in a limited engagement, from November 11, 2019 through January 5, 2020.
