Catch a show with us this holiday season! Here are a few of the great-looking shows that will be opening this December throughout the state.

Come march along with “Seventy Six Trombones” at the Music Man at Eagle Mountain Community Theatre opening December 5th.

Covey Center for the Arts in Provo is bringing all the Christmas favorites with Every Christmas Story Ever Told (and then Some!) beginning December 5th.

We double-dog-dare you to go to A Christmas Story at both the Hopebox Theatre in Kaysville and at SCERA in Orem which happen to open on the same night (December 6th).

A non-musical play based on the favorite children’s book by Mo Willems, Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, will be playing at the Salt Lake Acting Company from December 6th through the 30th! Don’t miss the bus with this fun children’s play.

Pioneer Theatre Company is performing Souvenir, a true account of the wealthy socialite Florence Foster Jenkins who loved to perform but was terribly tone-deaf.

Also opening December 6th are: the heartwarming American classic It’s A Wonderful Life at the Pleasant Grove Players; the beloved redheaded orphan Annie at the Ziegfeld in Ogden; and The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: the Musical at Lehi Arts Center.

Broadway at the Eccles in Salt Lake will feature the touring company of Kimberly Akimbo, the winner of 5 Tony Awards including Best Musical, December 10th through the 15th.

Also, join in with Park City’s Holiday Spectacular! And Sing-Along! at the Egyptian Theatre—because as Buddy the Elf has taught us, “The best way to spread Christmas is cheer singing loud for all to hear.”

We hope you have a magical holiday season wherever you are in Utah! Grab your tickets and treat your family and friends to these wonderful shows!
