About the Show:
After 1,000 years of faithful service, Santa Claus has decided to retire. But not all the elves in Santa’s Workshop are too thrilled about his chosen replacement. With the help of his tech-savvy daughter, Beatrice, website designer Nick is in for the adventure of his life as he prepares to take over the reins to Santa’s sleigh…before the next Christmas!
SANTA CLAUS: THE MUSICAL is jam-packed with a sleigh-full of fun as well as energetic and original Christmas music. Book by Noah Putterman. Music & Lyrics by David Christensen & Luke Holloway. Directed by Eric Byrd, TCT’s Associate Artistic Director. The show features Local 12’s Bob Herzog as Nick, Santa’s chosen replacement. Originally performed December 2018 at the Taft Theatre.
The streaming event is being cohosted by Local 12, Cincinnati Parent and Gold Star Chili.
**Additionally, on TCT EVERYWHERE you can still view TCT’s productions of CASPER THE FRIENDLY MUSICAL, SLEEPING BEAUTY and SUFFRAGETTES: WITH LIBERTY AND VOTING FOR ALL.
