Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer The Musical

The original television classic comes to life at the Shubert Theatre, Boston from December 9-14, 2014

This holiday classic is a wonderful way to kick off the season with your family. We attended the December 9th performance and were thrilled to see the families attending. Generations together, young and old, enjoying the classic story of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer as told by your favorite Christmas Town snowman, Sam the Snowman.

Our 13 year old was fascinated with the puppetry, screens and projected images while our 9 year old LOVED the story, the characters and of course the songs! My husband actually said, “I can’t believe this, it is just like the TV show has come to life.” It was a great trip down memory lane for us and seeing the smiles on the faces of the kids in the audience was priceless.

This is the perfect performance to introduce your little ones to the theater. The Shubert Theatre is ideal for this performance – just the right size for all the magic to come to life, without being scary and the performance moves right along.

Don’t wait, this is a limited time engagement (Rudolph, Santa and the elves need to head North, they still have a lot of work to do!) so get your tickets today.

About Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer the Musical

RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER™: THE MUSICAL TO PERFORM AT BOSTON’S  CITI SHUBERT THEATRE!

One Week Only, Dec. 9 – 14, 2014

Rudolph Soars from Screen to Stage in Family-Friendly Adaptation of Highest Rated Christmas Special of All Time

In 1964, the beloved stop-motion animated television classic, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, made its network television debut delighting audiences across the country. Fifty years later, the longest running and highest rated television special comes to life, live on stage with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Musical(www.rudolphthemusical.com), featuring the world’s most famous reindeer and a holly jolly cast of iconic characters. Rudolph and friends, including Hermey the Elf, Yukon Cornelius and the Abominable Snow Monster, help Santa save Christmas this holiday season.

Rudolph and friends will visit Boston’s Citi Performing Arts Center Shubert Theatre for 12 performances, from December 9-14, 2014. Tickets are now on sale atwww.citicenter.org or by calling (866) 348-9738.

“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Musical celebrates Rudolph’s 50 years on television. This is a lively, colorful journey and new tradition for families and theatregoers of all ages,” says Producing Partner Jonathan Flom. “These productions touch on all of the familiar story elements from the television special, with talented casts and puppeteers creating the magic on stage.”

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Musical is so faithful to the original show that it practically transports audience members into the television special. The songs drive the plot while familiar and nostalgic set designs, costumes and characters are brought to stage. The cast brings new energy to the classic songs and dialogue, while puppets help showcase the charming “roughness” from the television show’s stop-motion effects.

The story tells the tale of a young Rudolph who, because of the appearance of his bright, shining nose, is ousted from the reindeer games in Christmas-town. He flees town, meets up with new friends Hermey and Yukon, and a series of funny and endearing adventures ensue including a visit to The Island of Misfit Toys. Rudolph journeys home, where a snowstorm of epic proportions is threatening Christmas. Can Rudolph save his family and friends and help Santa save the holiday?

The productions will also tie in with the #ShineBright social media campaign which is a celebration of uniqueness that will be championed by PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center.  Workshops, lesson plans and special performances will use the story as a platform for teaching important lessons about diversity and tolerance.
