“The show is fun for the whole family and a great way to get into the holiday spirit,” said Sasha Sullivan, artist director for Telluride Theatre.

Filled with endless surprises, the audience can expect a merry ‘ole time as the Opera House is transformed for the production and the cast brings the show off the stage and into the crowd.

“We are setting up the Opera House like a cabaret, with VIP cabaret table seating and theatre seats behind. The action will be all around the audience,” Sullivan said.

Telluride Theatre filled the show – a collaboration with Sullivan, the cast of the show, and Colin Sullivan, executive director for Telluride Theatre – with a cast of all local actors, dancers, and singers.

Growing up celebrating Christmas in New York, Sullivan was inspired to bring holiday magic to Telluride in a way that is uniquely Telluride Theatre.

“I grew up going to the Radio City Musical Hall Christmas Spectacular every year as a kid,” Sullivan said. “It was an awesome holiday tradition that was engrained in me. I just loved the celebration and spectacle, the music and dance, the fact that it was family-friendly. I wanted to create a show that came from a similar place… but is still totally Telluride Theatre.”
