THE STORY

In the kingdom of Boralia, rivers glow with colour and reindeer can fly. Then two well-meaning elves make one very sticky mistake, the great Colour Wheel stops turning, and the colour drains from the land. A humble Toymaker, a princess who wants more from life, and eight reindeer set out to bring it back.

By the final song you will know how the reindeer learned to fly, why Santa wears the red coat, and who Mrs Claus really is.

THE MAGIC STARTS IN THE FOYER

The foyer opens 60 minutes before every show and becomes a Christmas wonderland. Meet characters from the North Pole, write a letter to Santa and take photos with the reindeer. It is included with every ticket, so arrive early.

WHAT AUDIENCES SAID IN 2025

"It must be said that this two act musical kept the attention of the little ones in the audience and brought regular smiles to the faces of the grown-ups. A Christmas theatrical treat."  Stage Whispers

"An exquisite narrative that is accessible and heartfelt. Apart from the fantastic show, there are many activities for all ages to foster tradition and make memories; perfectly festive photo opportunities, a chance to say hi to the reindeer as well as a station where people can write letters to Santa. The atmosphere feels so inviting and celebratory, encouraging audiences to linger and soak in the excitement, seamlessly extending the show’s charm beyond the stage."  The Fourth Wall
