The beloved TV classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer soars off the screen and onto the stage this holiday season. Come see all of your favorite characters from the special including Santa and Mrs. Claus, Hermey the Elf, the Abominable Snow Monster, Clarice, Yukon Cornelius and, of course, Rudolph, as they come to life in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Musical. It’s an adventure that teaches us that what makes you different can be what makes you special. Don’t miss this wonderful holiday tradition that speaks to the misfit in all of us.
The story begins in Christmastown, which is located at the North Pole. As the overture is heard, we read newspaper headlines describing the worst winter weather in history. Sam The Snowman appears and introduces himself. Sam tells the audience about his home, Christmastown.
While playing a Reindeer game, Rudolph flies very high, impressing everyone, especially Santa! In celebration, the young bucks tussle with Rudolph. His nose cover falls off. Coach Comet is appalled and announces Rudolph may not join in any more reindeer games. Embarrassed, Rudolph runs off.
Rudolph is considered a misfit. His friends figure Rudolph might help the misfit toys by telling Santa about them and finding a child to love them because, “A toy is never happy until it is loved by a child.” Rudolph agrees to help. But Rudolph is afraid the Abominable Snow Monster will catch them because of his nose and says he should travel alone.
And so the story goes in this very entertaining 90 minute musical that is not just for kids but for everyone who has ever sung those unforgettable lyrics. (See the Study Guide before you go).
