THE HOLIDAY SONGBOOK Now Availble for Licensing From Thirty Saints Productions

Thirty Saints Productions has announced the worldwide licensing release of The Holiday Songbook, the first installment of the company's highly acclaimed Songbook Series.

This festive musical concert celebrates beloved holiday classics through fresh arrangements and fascinating historical insights, offering theaters an accessible, high-quality production perfect for the holiday season.

Created by Broadway veteran James A. Rocco, composer Albert Evans (Pageant), and award-winning Musical Director Raymond Berg, The Holiday Songbook transforms familiar seasonal favorites into an engaging theatrical experience. From a multilingual "Silent Night Suite" to an Andrews Sisters-inspired "Up On The Housetop" and crowd-pleasing mashups of modern classics, the show delivers entertainment that appeals to audiences of all ages.

Featured songs include timeless favorites such as "Let It Snow," "Winter Wonderland," "A Marshmallow World," "Here We Come A-Wassailing," "Sleigh Ride," "The Carol of The Bells," and contemporary hits like "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)". Each song is reimagined with innovative arrangements while preserving the cherished melodies that audiences know and love. At The Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, The Songbook Series grew from individual performances to a subscription series with nearly 3,000 annual attendees.

"The Holiday Songbook takes audiences on a musical journey from medieval wassailing traditions to today's chart-toppers; it's designed to be both entertaining and accessible for theaters of any size."
