Red Mountain Spectacular’s big surprise
This year’s Holiday Spectacular has a special surprise for audiences—puppets!
Instead of bringing real-life animals on stage, this year Red Mountain Theatre is switching it up with the introduction of detailed, life-size puppets of the show’s nativity animals.
“Inspired by Broadway shows like The Lion King and Life of Pi, we’ve had the Puppet Design & Build Team at Ohio University build us life-size constructions of our nativity animals.
They’re so cool up close, and our cast members are learning to operate them with real mannerisms. It’s going to allow us a new level of storytelling this season.”
Roy Lightner, Artistic Director, Red Mountain Theatre
What to expect at Holiday Spectacular 2024
If you haven’t been to Red Mountain’s Holiday Spectacular, you’re in for an exciting night full of holly jolly traditions with a modern spin.
Get excited for comedy with St. Nick (Saban), moving choral arrangements, and a Rockettes-style precision dance number that will blow your winter socks off.
“It’s so much fun every year to pull together the right mix of songs. We want to capture the exuberance of the season, plus feature a huge Rockettes-style dance number.
It’s also hard not to be awed by the Nativity finale with all the classic hymns everyone knows and loves.”
Katie Holmes, Music Director, Red Mountain Theatre
Above all else, the Holiday Spectacular is a time to let go of your stress, come together and enjoy beautiful and heartwarming performances with your loved ones.
“The holidays can be so crazy, and our creative team knows that. We set out to create a moment where audiences can just relax and enjoy what the season has to offer all of us, together.”
Jennifer Jaquess, Executive Director, Red Mountain Theatre
