I’ve got my red cup full of egg nog latte, my tunes playing holiday songs. I am SO ready for the holidays! Christmas is COMING y’all! And the best thing about the holidays are all the great performances that come to town. Dallas Summer Musicals never disappoints – last year we had a blast at Elf (it was SO funny) and this year, DSM in bringing the family-friendly stage adaption of CBS’s highest-rated Christmas Special of all time: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!
Go see our beloved Hermy the Elf, Yukon Cornelius, and the Abominable Snow Monster help Santa to save Christmas on the Dallas stage November 25 – 27 at the Music Hall at Fair Park and at Fort Worth’s Bass Performance Hall on November 22 – 23. <3
Did you know that Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer first aired in 1964 as a stop-motion animated television show? This stage adaptation will feature nostalgic set designs and high-energy classic songs, while lovable puppets highlight the charming “roughness” of the classic stop-motion effects. Don’t worry, your favorite songs will be sung loud and proud, including “Fame and Fortune,” and “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.”
If you aren’t familiar with Rudolph’s story, it begins as a sad one. Teased unmercifully for appearing different, poor Rudolph feels the outcast and is excluded from the Reindeer Games. He flees Christmas town and meets his new friends Hermy and Yukon and travels to the Island of Misfit Toys where he learns it’s okay to be different. On their return to Christmas Town, the unlikely trio encounter a snowstorm of epic proportions – and it just might cancel Christmas! GASP! I promise, it’s a happy ending.
So what I REALLY love about this show (aside from the message), is that it has a partnership with PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center. (PACER is an organization that champions for children with disabilities.) At these shows, a new illustrated storybook will be available called, “T.E.A.M. Rudolph and the Reindeer Games.” A portion of the proceeds from all sales of the books will be donated to PACER. (Insert hand clapping emoji here.)
