Santa’s show is lots of fun, with laughter and joy for everyone
The Tim Bray Theatre Company is thrilled to present the 21st season of our beloved family favourite, The Santa Claus Show. Since its debut in 1991, this merry tale has become New Zealand’s best-selling Christmas production!
Join Kelly on a magical adventure as she dashes through the snow to the North Pole, with plenty of singing, laughter, and holiday cheer along the way. With special appearances from Santa’s chief elf and Mr. Claus himself, this show is sure to fill your heart with the true spirit of Christmas. Bring your little elves (and big ones too) for a joyful and entertaining Christmas experience that’s perfect for the whole family.
