Casa Mañana Theatre presents Santa Claus - A New Musical, sponsored by Frank Kent Cadillac and Macy's as part of the 2017-2018 Children's Theatre season presented by Regions. Tickets are on sale now.
Back by popular demand, your family will love making this your holiday tradition. When Santa announces that he's retiring after a thousand years, the search is on for someone to fill his boots. Expecting to be the next Father Christmas, Henchy the Elf is disappointed when Santa has someone different in mind. Will Santa and his elves get Nick ready in time to deliver toys all over the world? Or will the discouraged Henchy successfully sabotage Christmas? With hummable tunes like "What Would Santa Do?" and "Naughty or Nice," Santa Claus A New Musical will put the whole family in the holiday spirit!
