One Sleepy Night-Detroit at Garden Theater

In this exciting new Christmas musical, a modern family discovers the GIFT OF LOVE that came late One Sleepy Night in Bethlehem. You won’t want to miss this one of a kind Christmas experience that features 16 original songs, a 20 person cast, and an exciting choir like no other. Plus…a few break dancing angels! Need we say more?

This is the story of how Grandpa Benny Wilson, struggling in retirement with his life and his wife, discovers that his granddaughter Shantelle doesn’t know the story of Christmas.

Through the magic of his telescope, the characters in the modern story become figures in the ancient story. Grandpa becomes Kaspar, the head Wise Man. LaToya, his wife, becomes Mrs. K.  And Shantelle becomes the Boss Shepherd who bosses her three older brothers.

Through a series of mishaps, all roads eventually lead to Bethlehem where a glorious discovery is made at the manger. The scene changes back to the modern story where insights from the ancient journey—and in a check-out line—reunite Benny and LaToya and with them the whole family in joy and love.
