One Week Only, Dec. 9 – 14, 2014
Rudolph Soars from Screen to Stage in a Family-Friendly Adaptation of the Highest Rated Christmas Special of All Time
In 1964, the beloved stop-motion animated television classic, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
made its network television debut delighting audiences across the
country. Fifty years later, the longest running and highest rated
television special comes to life, live on stage with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Musical,
featuring the world’s most famous reindeer and a holly jolly cast of
iconic characters. Rudolph and friends, including Hermey the Elf, Yukon
Cornelius and the Abominable Snow Monster, help Santa save Christmas
this holiday season.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Musical is so faithful to the original show that it practically transports audience members into the television special. The songs drive the plot while familiar and nostalgic set designs, costumes and characters are brought to stage. The cast brings new energy to the classic songs and dialogue, while puppets help showcase the charming “roughness” from the television show’s stop-motion effects.
The
story tells the tale of a young Rudolph who, because of the appearance
of his bright, shining nose, is ousted from the reindeer games in
Christmas-town. He flees town, meets up with new friends Hermey and
Yukon, and a series of funny and endearing adventures ensue including a
visit to The Island of Misfit Toys. Rudolph journeys home, where a
snowstorm of epic proportions is threatening Christmas. Can Rudolph save
his family and friends and help Santa save the holiday?
