Sarah Pfisterer Set for IT'S CHRISTMASTIME, 12/3-12

Broadway's Sarah Pfisterer ("Phantom of the Opera," "Show Boat," "Children and Art") leads a cast of 200 singers and dancers in Reagle Music Theatre of Greater Boston's holiday spectacular "It's ChristmasTime" December 3-12.  Now in its 28th edition, this joyous Boston area tradition features Pfisterer singing "The Most Wonderful Birthday of All," "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year," "Mary's Boy Child," and "Oh, Holy Night."
 
Pfisterer, whose crystalline soprano and luminous stage presence have made her a Reagle favorite, has earned Independent Reviewers of New England (IRNE) Awards for her performances there in "Carousel" and "The Sound of Music." She has also received IRNE nominations for Reagle's productions of "The Music Man," "The King and I," and "Beauty and the Beast." Other leading roles include "Meet Me in St. Louis" (Off-Broadway) and regional productions of "Will Rogers Follies" and "My Fair Lady."

"It's ChristmasTime" has been hailed by classical radio station WCRB-FM in Boston as "an exciting, delightful production - a real Christmas treat." A cast of 45 adults and 150 children backed by a full live orchestra perform perennial favorites including the Parade of the Wooden Soldiers, Teddy Bear's Nutcracker, a Victorian Christmas, and the Living Nativity. City Sidewalks come alive with popular classics accompanied by a hand bell choir. An ensemble of 75 boys and girls from grades 1-4 play adorable elves in Santa's Workshop.

"It's ChristmasTime" performs Fridays, December 3 & 10 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays, December 4 & 5 and 11 & 12, at 1:00 and 5:00 p.m. in the Robinson Theatre located at 617 Lexington Street, Waltham, Mass. There is ample free parking, and the theater is wheelchair accessible.
