RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER: THE MUSICAL Soars into Princess of Wales Theatre Tonight

RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER: The Musical soars into the Princess of Wales Theatre tonight, November 17th, for one week only in a family-friendly stage adaptation of CBS' highest rated Christmas Special of all time.

In 1964, the beloved stop-motion animated television classic, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, made its network television debut delighting audiences across the country. The "most famous reindeer of all" from the longest running and highest rated television special will burst live on stage with RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER: THE MUSICAL.

The world's most famous reindeer and a holly jolly cast of iconic characters including Hermey the Elf, Yukon Cornelius and the Abominable Snow Monster will help Santa save Christmas this holiday season.

RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER: THE MUSICAL practically transports audience members into the television special as songs drive the plot while familiar and nostalgic set design with projections, costumes and characters are brought to life on stage. The cast brings new energy to the classic songs and dialogue, while irresistible and loveable puppets help showcase the charming "roughness" from the television show's stop-motion effects. "We address all of the familiar story elements from the television special with a talented cast and puppeteers who help recreate the magic on stage," says producing partner Bob Penola.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer tells the tale of a young Rudolph who, because of the appearance of his bright, shining nose, is ousted from the reindeer games in Christmas-town. He flees town, meets up with new friends Hermey and Yukon, and a series of funny and endearing adventures ensue including a visit to The Island of Misfit Toys. Rudolph journeys home, where a snowstorm of epic proportions is threatening Christmas. Can Rudolph save his family and friends and help Santa save the holiday?

RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER: THE MUSICAL is produced by Iconic Entertainment Studios, Right Angle Entertainment and Wishing Star Productions.
