Showboat Christmas Shows 2012

We're excited to announce not one but TWO Christmas shows this winter. The very popular Match Girl's Gift returns for a third year as well as A Threepenny Christmas.

THE MATCH GIRL’S GIFT - A Christmas Story

Set in turn-of-the-century New York, The Match Girl’s Gift is a touching holiday story about one little girl’s triumph over despair through the power of belief and the pursuit of dreams. Little Lizzie is sent out to the cold streets on Christmas Eve by her callous father to sell matches. She captures a magical glimpse inside the grand home of one family and in the process changes their lives forever. Based on Hans Christian Andersen's classic short story, The Match Girl’s Gift will leave you with a timeless holiday message of love, hope and selfless giving.

“…music, magic and a Centennial Showboat decked out in garlands and lights… festive setting and bookended by lovely music … all you could expect of a holiday show.” – Star Tribune

“Rings with a moral intensity that would make Dickens proud. Here’s a holiday entertainment that trembles with the true, radical sprit of Christmas: giving when it counts the most.” – The Tennessean

A THREEPENNY CHRISTMAS
or The Legend of Nick the Saint

Nick the Saint is a 19th century Robin Hood living in the poorest part of Victorian London. He’s a master thief who robs from the rich to give to the poor. Now he has his biggest and boldest plan yet; his gang of thieves will dress up as Santa Claus on Christmas Eve and slide down all of the richest chimneys in the city. Even the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London aren’t safe! But Scotland Yard’s brightest… and dullest, are on the case, and the Queen has secret agents of her own. Will Nick get caught this time? A holiday comedy full of big laughs and merry melodies the whole family can enjoy.
