The Santa Claus Show '23 – Live On Stage

The Santa Claus Show ‘23
By Tim Bray.
Songs by Christine White 

Ho-ho-ho, it’s Christmas show time!

Tim Bray Theatre Company presents our hugely popular family favourite, The Santa Claus Show, back for its 19th season and more lovable than ever! Written in 1991 and now New Zealand’s best-selling Christmas show, this unmissable experience tells a merry tale about finding the true meaning of Christmas, with special guest appearances from Santa’s chief elf and Mr Claus himself.

Join Kelly and Alana on their epic adventure dashing through the snow to the North Pole, with singing and laughing all the way. Bring your little elves along (and big ones too) and get ready for a jolly entertaining Christmas show!

“The Santa Claus Show and Tim Bray are the gifts that keep on giving. What Tim Bray is to Children's Theatre, the All Blacks are to Rugby: one of New Zealand's national treasures.” - Patrick Kelly, Theatreview

“This is a hugely enjoyable, well-acted and produced show, guaranteed to get you in the mood for Christmas.” Jodi Yeats, Stuff
