Called by The New York Times “a tonic for adults, and for children a transfixing journey,” this spectacular musical extravaganza ran for ten years at Madison Square Garden, complete with falling snow, exuberant dances by famed choreographer Susan Stroman, flying ghosts and a magnificent set which recreated the streets, graveyards, homes and buildings of Dickensian London. In 2004, this version became the basis of an NBC Hallmark Entertainment special (teleplay adaptation by Lynn Ahrens) featuring Kelsey Grammer as Scrooge, and an array of stars including Jason Alexander, Jesse L. Martin, Jane Krakowski, Geraldine Chaplin, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ruthie Henshall.
A quirky, sci-fi, not-so-romantic comedy, boom follows Jo, a female journalism student, and Jules, a male marine biologist, on what appears to be an erotic “casual encounter.” But there’s nothing casual whatsoever about this particular evening. Will meaningless sex have meaning? What’s going on in the fish tank? And who is that woman, Barbara, pulling levers in the corner? Something is about to explode.
The play follows a family of incorrigible children who are the terror of their town. When they take over the annual Christmas pageant, the whole community rediscovers the true meaning of Christmas.
The show is co-directed by Shawn Maxfield and Jeremy Heaps and performs December 3rd through December 20th with shows on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and a Matinee on the 20th at 2:30pm.

BYU Theatre Ballet will celebrate its 40th year by bringing the popular romance to life with original choreography by artistic director Shani Robison and live accompaniment of Sergei Prokofiev’s magnificent score by the BYU Philharmonic conducted by Kory Katseanes.
“The BYU Philharmonic will perform with BYU Theatre Ballet in a full-length ballet for the first time since the 1980s,” said BYU ballet faculty member Lynne Thompson. “That, coupled with beautiful dancing will add to the overall appeal of this classic tale that whisks audiences far away to the land of ‘happily-ever-afters.’ It’s a perfect fit for celebrating Valentine’s Day.”
An exciting addition to “Cinderella” that area royalty won’t want to miss will be the children’s “Prince and Princess Party” which will begin an hour before each performance in the de Jong Concert Hall lobby.
“Children can dress up in their prince and princess costumes to meet Cinderella, Prince Charming, the Fairy Godmother, and all of her fairies,” said Thompson. “Parents are welcome to bring cameras to take pictures with the dancers.”
