Sparkling reindeer, colossal candy canes and towering nutcrackers are surrounded by holiday trees and sculptures adorned with Swarovski crystals creating the perfect array of Instagrammable moments & happenings.

Once inside the custom-configured Great Hall Theatre, the live show performs in the center of the space while the audience is surrounded by video projections of the book's illustrations. The combination of live-action theatre & encircling projected animation will transport audiences into a 360° immersive experience beyond imagination as if sitting inside the pages of the storybook.

Aerial acts, gravity-defying circus performances, spellbinding magic, skating and cycling are performed in this show-stopping Broadway-bound production. An international cast of 30 world-class acrobats, magicians, singers, dancers and enchanting characters will mesmerize with
over 200 breathtaking costumes to an original score and an unforgettable grand appearance by Santa Claus himself.
