Breakdown

It Happened One Christmas is a new concert-musical revue being created by Karen Azenberg and Kenneth Jones specifically for the Pioneer Theatre audience. Set in an abandoned vaudeville theatre in downtown Salt Lake City, we learn of a (fictitious) legend that says if Salt Lake City has snow on Christmas, it's because of what happens in that theatre. The evening will be comprised of traditional songs, with less traditional arrangements, musical theatre and pop favorites, dance, spoken word segments - and who knows what else - we are still creating this thing!
