Photo Flash: First Look at A BEEF & BOARDS CHRISTMAS, Opening Tonight

As it wraps up its 40th Anniversary Season, Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre brings a fresh feel to its annual original holiday production, A Beef & Boards Christmas. An all-new quartet performs festive arrangements in a glittering celebration now on stage through Dec. 23. Scroll down for a sneak peek at the show, opening tonight!

Four members of the highly-acclaimed cast of LES MISERABLES return to the Beef & Boards stage for the holidays. Kelly Teal Goyette, who made her Beef & Boards debut in LES MISERABLES, is the featured vocalist in A Beef & Boards Christmas. Her former cast mates Bobbi Bates, Peter Scharbrough, and Dominic Sheahan-Stahl are joined by newcomer and Indianapolis native Emily Rogge to create the show's talented quartet. Together they blend beautifully the sounds of the season, while surrounded by skilled dancers in beautiful costumes.

Marking his 20th year with the show is Kenny Shepard, who returns to the stage to co-host A Beef & Boards Christmas with his dear friend and fellow performer Deb Wims. Even Santa and his friends are on hand to make it the perfect holiday celebration for the entire family!

While the tradition of the show continues, it offers an entirely new set dramatically highlighting the Beef & Boards Orchestra that is on stage throughout the performance. A Beef & Boards Christmas maintains a "Currier & Ives" feeling, says Ron Morgan who is staging and choreographing the piece, but it will also offer a greater technological impact with all-new audio and visual effects.

There are 32 performances of A Beef & Boards Christmas scheduled in the intimate setting of Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. Tickets range from $37.50 to $62.50 and include Chef Odell Ward's holiday dinner buffet offering carved turkey and all the trimmings, a fruit & salad bar, unlimited coffee and tea. Student group pricing is available for select performances; ask for details. Parking is free. For reservations, call the box office at 317.872.9664 anytime between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays.
