From Deborah Craig-Claar and Mark Hayes, the creative team that brought you I’ll Be Home for Christmas, comes a delightful dramatic musical. Set at the turn of the century, the captivating score blends ragtime, parlor music, and even a barbershop quartet with a mix of traditional and new Christmas music, character songs, and production numbers. The Broadway-style musical follows the escapades of an out-of-work family performing group who find themselves unexpectedly spending Christmas in a small rural town in Ohio, where the entire family learns the importance of following God’s unique direction in their lives. By Christmas Eve, they’ve turned the town upside down, and some of their own relationships around. “It’s a season of beginnings,” and that includes beginning and restoring a relationship with the Savior whose birth is being celebrated. Four Tickets to Christmas is versatile enough to be staged by both large and moderate-sized groups. Featuring a single set and modest costume and sound requirements, the musical is also perfect dinner or dessert theater fare. An in-depth Director’s Guide will provide guidance through every phase of the production. Brimming with nostalgia, humor, poignant drama, and a sterling score, Four Tickets to Christmas is a feel-good family musical that will charm your congregation and provide a wonderful outreach to your community. A full range of companion products are available from the publisher.
