Now in its 30th season, Christmas Canteen is a high-energy spectacle brimming with dazzling dance numbers, hilarious comedy sketches, and stunning musical moments.
I saw this show last week and I promise, you don't want to miss it! This is my family's favorite Christmas tradition. Filled with fantastic actors that will ignite your holiday spirit with songs (some familiar favorites and a few with hilarious new lyrics), accompanied with amazing dancing, including one very surprising but delightful tap dance and 40-gillion spectacular costume changes! I still don't know how they managed those so quickly! Their salute to the military tribute always brings tears to my eyes and hearing The Bugle Boy of Company B is one of my favorite moments. This will be the highlight of the season bringing abundant Christmas joy and Hannukah light to your whole family! We loved it and are already planning to come back next year!
From its origins celebrating the Big Band era and honoring military service, to its evolution into a revue that blends contemporary carols, comedic parodies, and authentic storytelling, Christmas Canteen has become a multigenerational holiday tradition. This year’s edition is no exception, offering something for everyone: heartfelt moments, laugh-out-loud comedy, and music that bridges generations.
