Photo Flash: Westchester Broadway Theatre presents THE CHRISTMAS VOYAGER

This Delightful Holiday Musical is a true celebration of the Season. All the splendor of Christmas is brought to life in a magical journey through Yuletides past. The holiday songs we all know and love are wrapped up in a heartwarming celebration of spirit that will delight audiences of all ages.

"The star shone down upon the earth a dazzling silver beam while in a far-off galaxy the star was also seen. And so our voyager began his quest to reach that source of light. Two thousand years to find his way and end his astral flight."

Lost in a future time and desperate to return to his home galaxy, our Starman journeys back through time searching for that magical December 24th evening when three brilliant stars came together and changed the course of history. Knowing that these same stars will set him on the right course toward home, Noel journeys around the world and touches down in a small town in America, The North Pole, Dickens' England and many other places on his quest. The show features dazzling effects and many favorite Christmas songs, We Need A Little Christmas, Holly Jolly Christmas, Silver Bells, It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas, Deck The Halls, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, Let There Be Peace on Earth, We Wish You A Merry Christmas, Silent Night, and more.
