Theaters are mostly dark this year, but Christmas can still shine brightly for kids and their families.
The Vista Center for the Performing Arts recently announced that the streaming video of the 2019 World Premiere, critically acclaimed performance of “Eleanor’s Very Merry Christmas Wish — The Musical,” is coming home for Holiday 2020.
“Eleanor’s Very Merry Christmas Wish — The Musical” tells the story of a rag doll named Eleanor who lives in the magical world of the North Pole.
Despite her love for her family there, including Santa, Mrs. “Cookie” Claus, Clara Claus, and the elves — Twinkle, Sprinkle, and Sparkle — Eleanor’s very merry Christmas wish is for a best friend and home of her own.
Realizing that wishing is not enough, she writes a letter to Santa expressing her dream. The letter opens the door to answering many questions, and to the journey which leads to her wish (and others) coming true.
The 65-minute musical written by Denise McGowan Tracy, with eight original songs by composer/lyricist Kathleen Butler-Duplessis and McGowan Tracy, is bursting with lessons for kids of all ages of the importance of friendship, family, and working hard to make your dreams come true.
The show is available on demand through Dec. 27.
