Best Christmas shows?

[SoonerOrLater]

So now that the season is officially over what were the best festive offerings anyone saw this season?

I was stuck in the ushering wormhole so I have seen Sherman Cymru's Peter Pan and Snow Tiger/Tiger y eira on a loop. Both really strong creative alternatives to Panto and with some great young talent. I'm seeing Cardiff's other 'Christmas' offering Phantom on Monday (but I've already seen this tour) I avoided the panto this year...

Without a doubt, the best Christmas show I saw was the brilliant Pasek & Paul musical A CHRISTMAS STORY, which I saw on Broadway. Close second - the fabulous Matthew Sklar & Chad Beguilin musical ELF.

Didn't really see any "festive" shows in the UK - I HATE panto! lol

I did see HONK! at the Tabard theatre - not really a Christmas show, but it was billed as the theatre's "holiday season" offering - and it was fantastic. Going to see it again on Sunday - and also next Thursday with a group of friends. Anyone, who's not seen this - get there quick as it closes on Jan 13 and it's too good to miss.

Midnight Pumpkin at Battersea Arts centre.
It was more adult than expected and had terrific performances.
