This was one of the most entertaining 3 hours I've spent in a theater! The production was fast-paced and sooooo professionally done.
I took my daughter and granddaughter, we all loved it!
I was having trouble getting into the Christmas spirit until I saw this amazing show. I loved everything about it. My 5 year old nieces were mesmerized. The dancers were not only talented but they had amazing energy onstage! BRAVO!!!
I think I misunderstood what this show was... It really felt like somebody else's kid's dance recital. I have no clue why these tickets are bring sold on Ticketmaster. The older performers were ok, and yes the younger children were cute, but this felt like a child's dance recital. It did not feel like a professional show at all. The emcee was soooo annoying! He kept asking the audience to cheer and thank the parents for bringing the kids to all the rehearsals. I spent $125 on tickets for my family to go watch this, he should be thanking us for coming! It was also very very long, over 3 hours. My elementary age kids were both asking to leave after four songs in. There was a lot of strong religion at the second half (given the name of the company this is understandable I suppose), but I was really just looking for some good clean holiday fun, not watching dancers represent nails and a cross. Not a fun event, not worth the money. Not even pleasant. We could not wait to Ieave. I actually apologized to my family for bringing them. I am quite confused about why there are so many positive reviews.
My wife and I have seen this performance for the past 7 years and always enjoy it. The kids are absolutely awesome. The dancing and singing was terrific as well. Kudos to the folk's who plan the choreography.
3 hours of great music and dancing.Hard to beat.would go again
This play was excellent. It was a variety show that had a little of everything, singing, dancing, great costumes, and so much talent. The kids were so adorable and also very talented.
The Spirit of Christmas was the best Christmas show I have ever seen! I saw all 6 shows, and I saw 4 of 6 in 2012. I have seen the Rockettes in New York twice, and that show doesn't even compare to The Spirit of Christmas! See you next year!
The quality of this performance was excellent! The dancing, music, and costumes were all delightful.
Will be going every year possible. Well worth the time and money.
Even better than we anticipated! WOW! What great choreography and such talented dancers, young and older. Enjoyed the hoop dancer, awesome.production was so well planned and action packed, what dedication of these young people and their parents!
I have been to many Christmas shows over the years, including several Nutcracker performances. This is by far the most enjoyable show I have ever been to for the holiday season. I have already recommended to friends,who went and were blown away by the dancing. This will definitely become my new Christmas tradition. I can not rave enough about Spirit of Christmas. Thank you to everyone who makes this performance, of this caliber, happen.
Loved everything from the variety of dances, traditional music, emphasis on Christmas, charity, venue....this will be a family tradition to attend annually.
We were thrilled with the dance program, costumes, music, scenery. Excellent execution. Two things did not fit with the message or the season. Samba dancers and the Indian hoop dancer were certainly talented, but did not fit the program or the spirit generated by the dancers. Please leave these number out.
It was great! Will probably attend next year. Very enjoyable!
What a fantastic performance! These kids put in so much effort, so much energy! To think of the hours of practice that must have went into this show. And the costumes, they were incredible! This show is a must see for all who enjoy Holiday spectaculars!
The only negative was that it was too long, especially the 1st part. We heard many of the same remarks. Otherwise, it was a wonderful, awesome experience!!!
I have never seen such an amazing performance!!!!! I have been involved in dance and drama in my youth and was entertained beyond my expectations ! Go before it's over !
The stamina of these performers is incredible! For a group of young people, they are extremely talented. Downside is the performance runs about three hours with intermission, which feels too long. A handful of the numbers are weak and could be removed and not be missed. The interpretive dance routines though well done, are not the most exciting or interesting. The guest performer had a pleasant singing voice and is likely included to provide the dancers a break, scenery change etc., however, his performance is a bit awkward and a little too dated. The emcee is a little corny for our taste, but seemed endearing to many in the audience. Overall, the first half of the show was so energetic and fun that for the extremely reasonable ticket price, would consider attending only the first half and foregoing the less exciting second half, and it would still be well worth it.
once again a truly amazing show. We are definitely making this an annual tradition.
