Sarah Pfisterer, Rick Hilsabeck Lead CHRISTMAS TIME at Reagle Music Theatre

The Reagle Music Theatre of Greater Boston has announced that Broadway stars (and real-life couple) Sarah Pfisterer and Rick Hilsabeck have been added as special guests to the company's annual holiday revue "Christmas Time," now in its 29th spectacular season. Performances are December 3-11 at the Robinson Theatre, 617 Lexington Street, Waltham.

This joyous musical celebration presents all the comfort and joy of the season in heartwarming choral and dance numbers, beautiful costumes, and breath-taking custom scenery designed and painted by world renowned artist Robert Moody. Created and directed by Reagle's founder and executive producer Robert Eagle, "Christmas Time" boasts a feast of timeless holiday favorites plus a full, live professional orchestra.

"People of all ages have made 'Christmas Time' a Boston area tradition," says Eagle. "Like other time-honored classics such as 'The Nutcracker,' 'A Christmas Carol,' and the 'Radio City Christmas Spectacular,' our production is eagerly anticipated by thousands of subscribers each year. With the addition of Sarah and Rick as special guests, this year's production will be even more memorable. Their voices are magnificent, and their performances have won them numerous awards throughout the country. Celebrating the true spirit of the season, 'Christmas Time' is going to be a glorious cup of Christmas cheer!"

Sarah Pfisterer (Broadway's "Phantom of the Opera," "Show Boat") is a Reagle favorite who has starred here in "Beauty and the Beast," "Carousel," "The Music Man," "My Fair Lady," "The Will Rogers Follies," "The King and I" and "The Sound of Music." She has earned five IRNE (Independent Reviewers of New England) Award nominations and has won twice for "Carousel" and "The Sound of Music." Off-Broadway Pfisterer received critical acclaim for her star turn as Anna Smith in "Meet Me in St. Louis," and when the national tour of "Phantom" played in Chicago she was nominated for the prestigious Joseph Jefferson Award. A Metropolitan Opera semi-finalist, Pfisterer has starred as the tragic romantic heroine Christine Daaé in more than 1000 performances of "Phantom" on Broadway and nationwide.

Rick Hilsabeck (Broadway's "Billy Elliot," "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang") has distinguished himself as an actor, singer, dancer and teacher for more than 30 years, starring on Broadway, in national tours, and around the globe. He began his professional stage career right after high school as a member of the Academy Award-winning singing group The Young Americans in Los Angeles. Later he became the first male principal dancer with the acclaimed Hubbard Street Dance Company in Chicago, appearing in two PBS-TV specials. Hilsabeck's career as a major triple threat was cemented when he was hand-picked by legendary director Hal Prince to lead the First National Company of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the Opera." On tour Hilsabeck donned the famous Phantom mask for more than 1200 performances and earned a nomination for Chicago's prestigious Joseph Jefferson Award.

Pfisterer, Hilsabeck, and a company of nearly 40 adults and 150 children will treat audiences to a cornucopia of sights and sounds of the season. Perennial favorites include the Parade of the Wooden Soldiers, performed by a bevy of precision tap dancers, and the inspirational Living Nativity. A sonorous choir of 40 adult carolers presents a Victorian Christmas, and the City Sidewalks come alive with popular classics accompanied by a hand bell choir. The young ballerina Clara dances to visions of sugar plums in the Teddy Bears' Nutcracker, and 100 boys and girls from grades 1-4 are transformed into adorable elves in the colorful Santa's Workshop.
