By: Sara Brown Sep. 17, 2014
The touring live musical stage adaptation of RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER: THE MUSICAL will come to two of Dallas-Fort Worth's theaters.
In 1964, the beloved stop-motion animated television classic, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, made its network television debut, delighting audiences across the country. Fifty years later, the longest running and highest rated television special comes to life, live on stage with RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER: THE MUSICAL (www.rudolphthemusical.com), featuring the world's most famous reindeer and a holly-jolly cast of iconic characters. Rudolph and friends, including Hermey the Elf, Yukon Cornelius and the Abominable Snow Monster, help Santa save Christmas this holiday season.
Presented by Performing Arts Fort Worth, the show makes its Fort Worth debut at Bass Performance Hall December 5-7. Tickets Friday, September 26. To charge tickets by phone, call (817) 212-4280 or order online at www.basshall.com. Tickets are also available at the Bass Performance Hall ticket office at 525 Commerce Street. Ticket office hours: Monday through Friday 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. and Saturday 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. For group sales, call 817-212-4248.
The Dallas engagement is presented by the AT&T Performing Arts Center and returns for its second engagement at the Majestic Theatre Dec. 16-21. Tickets can be purchased September 26 online at www.ticketdfw.com/rudolph, by phone at 214-871-5000 or in person at the AT&T Performing Arts Center Information Center at 2353 Flora Street (Monday 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.; Tuesday thru Saturday 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.; Sunday 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.).
The story 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. Can Rudolph save his family and friends and help Santa save the holiday?
RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER also ties in with the #ShineBright social media campaign, which is a celebration of uniqueness that will be championed by PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center. Workshops, lesson plans and special performances will use the story as a platform for teaching important lessons about diversity and tolerance.
