鈥 Dec. 4-21, University Theatre

 If Charles Dickens had huddled with Rodgers and Hammerstein and the creators of 鈥淪outh Park鈥 they just might have come up with this hilarious mashup. Simultaneously irreverent and respectful, the show is a charmingly recognizable retelling of the beloved holiday ghost story, complete with new lyrics to famous Broadway show tunes.

 "If you are a big fan of the Broadway musical, then this is the Christmas show for you." on CU Theatre鈥檚 2012 production of 鈥淎 Broadway Christmas Carol鈥

 鈥 Dec. 5-7, Macky Auditorium 


The Holiday Festival is a celebration of the season, featuring masterful renditions of beloved music by choirs, orchestras, soloists and faculty ensembles, sing-alongs of favorite carols and festive decor in Macky Auditorium. This annual tradition, which goes back more than 70 years, is the perfect opportunity to share the warmth and joy of the holidays with family and friends.

Here鈥檚 a chance to enjoy an English Christmas right here in Colorado, as the world-renowned Britisha cappellasextet performs a program of seasonal favorites, sacred songs and more. With their unique melodic arrangements, impeccable vocal blend, and playfulness, the ensemble brings both wit and warmth to the stage.

鈥淔rom the sublime to the down-to-earth, from the sacred to the sentimental, The King鈥檚 Singers encompass an extraordinarily wide musical range.鈥 鈥
