Madison Square Garden Production of RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER Announces THE REINDEER GAMES

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Musical is taking flight to New York City for the first time ever this holiday season and to celebrate the show's arrival, Rudolph and Hermey the Elf are sharing a first look at "The Reindeer Games," presented by New York Life. On Wednesday, October 19 at 11:00 A.M. at Madison Square Garden's Chase Square, 95.5 PLJ on-air host John Foxx will task children from the Garden of Dreams Foundation to complete as a team, four reindeer-themed games for a chance to spread joy to hundreds of families in the tristate area with a donation of 500 tickets to the upcoming production. The Garden of Dreams Foundation is a non-profit charity that works with The Madison Square Garden Company and MSG Networks, Inc. to positively impact the lives of children facing obstacles. The children from WHEDCo, a partner organization of Garden of Dreams, will work together to complete each of the four different carnival styled reindeer-themed games including:

• Tip the Reindeer -toss the bean bags to tip over the lineup of Santa's Reindeer

• Antler Ring Toss - catch as many rings as you can onto the Reindeer's antlers

• Pin the Nose on the Reindeer - stick Rudolph's "very shiny nose" closest on the board, all while blindfolded

Snowball Alley - guide the snowball through a handheld maze to the finish line, but careful of the Bumble the Abominable Snow Monster

Additionally, "The Reindeer Games" will be part of a pre-show experience for all guests attending Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Musical at the Theater at Madison Square Garden, giving patrons a chance to take part in the fun and share the spirit of the holiday season with family and friends. "The Reindeer Games" encourage others to remember that you play on the same team, that every individual has their own set of special skills to teach and that we should always encourage each other to do our best!

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Musical 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. Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Musical will run for a limited holiday engagement from December 1 - December 18, 2016 at the Theater at Madison Square Garden. Tickets are on sale now!
