Those who are attending either the Cadence production of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: The Musical or the Richmond Ballet’s presentation of The Nutcracker are also encouraged to participate and must purchase tickets for Santa’s visits for both the afternoon and evening sessions.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: The Musical runs December 13-22, 2024, with eight performances at the Libby S. Gottwald Playhouse at Dominion Energy Center, based on the best-selling book by Barbara Robinson. The musical follows the chaotic story of the Herdman kids, the worst-behaved children in town, who land the lead roles in the church's Christmas pageant, forcing the director and Reverend to help the community discover the true meaning of Christmas.  The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: The Musical features music and lyrics by Malcolm Hillgartner with the book and lyrics by Jahnna Beecham. 

Stoner Winslett’s production of the beloved holiday classic has charmed Virginians for more than four decades. With its stunning choreography, lavish sets and costumes, and Tchaikovsky’s iconic score, The Nutcracker is a magical experience for audiences of all ages! The Nutcracker with the Richmond Symphony is engaged at Dominion Energy Center December 7-23, 2024.
