THE CHRISTMAS EXPRESS

THE CHRISTMAS EXPRESS

A NEW MUSICAL

An aging Santa eyeing retirement. A robot stranded in the snow. A cowgirl who lives in Christmas Creek. An evil elf eager to take control of Christmas. A sleigh that runs on starlight. A romance between a young couple who find themselves separated by miles of snow. And two elves working hard to save the holiday along with dancers adding another dimension to the story.

“The Christmas Express," a new holiday musical, is coming to Theater for the New City Dec. 16-19 just in time for the holiday season, providing a show for audiences of all ages.
