From the Producers of the sold-out hit The Addams Family, Teatro at the Italian Forum presents a dazzling new holiday spectacle, Santa Claus: The Musical this December.
A spectacular family celebration of joy, imagination, and the spirit of Christmas, audiences will journey to the North Pole in a dazzling re-imagining of Santa’s world, filled with laughter, spectacle, and heart-warming humanity.
Directed by Theresa Borg (Titanic, The Light in the Piazza), with musical direction by Andrew Bevis (West End’s Les Misérables, Jerry Springer The Opera) and choreography by Nathan M. Wright (The Rocky Horror Show, West End’s High Society), this all-new production transforms Teatro into a glittering winter wonderland of song, dance, and theatrical magic.
Starring Santa Claus, the production features a stellar cast including Donna Lee as Mrs Claus, Nina Hurley as Punchy, Oliver Clisdell as Henchy, Alexis Hutchinson as Chirpy, Abbey McPherson as Bee, Raphael Wong as Nick, Bella McSporran as Tenchy, and Isabella Colusso, Toni Kingsman Pope, William Turner and Jasper Wind as Santa’s Elves.
“We wanted to create a Christmas event that feels cinematic and joyous, something families can make a tradition,” says Co-Artistic Directors Nathan M. Wright and Andrew Bevis. “It’s full of sparkle and heart, but also that unmistakable sense of theatrical wonder that makes live performance so special.”
With a cast of colourful characters, original music, and eye-popping design, Santa Claus: The Musical reminds us all that the true magic of Christmas lies in love, laughter, and believing in the impossible.
