Way Off Broadway's first Breakfast with Santa was held in 2003, kicking off what has become the most popular annual event at the theatre. What makes the breakfast so unique is that it isn't just Santa Claus that the audience, made of children of all ages, gets to meet. Joining St. Nick for the yearly holiday fun are some of his elves from the North Pole and none other than Mrs. Claus herself. The whole gang returns once again on Saturday, December 18th and Friday, the 24th for this year's installment of Breakfast with Santa (and Mrs. Claus).
"This breakfast has become more popular than I would have ever imagined," says Justin M. Kiska, Way Off Broadway's President & Managing Director. "I like to joke that we have an exclusive contract with Mrs. Claus and the elves. Some of the elves have been with us since the very first year and people call and ask if Jingles will be there and if he can wait on them."
In the past, tickets have sold out within only a few weeks of going on sale. Some guests even ask to book tickets for the upcoming year as they arrive for that year's breakfast. The event became such a hit that Way Off Broadway expanded its Breakfast Series to include an annual Princess Breakfast as well.
The doors will open at 8:00 a.m. on December 18th and 10:00 a.m. on December 24th. All tickets are $16.00 per person.
Tickets may be purchased by calling the Box Office at (301) 662-6600.
