  Christmas in the Airwaves at Lyric Arts Main Street Stage

Christmas in the Airwaves

Lyric Arts Main Street Stage
420 East Main Street Anoka

Christmas in the Airwaves takes you back to 1944 when families still gathered around the radio, our boys were still "over there" and, though sugar was rationed, sweet memories still abounded. A period-style radio show filled with charming vignettes like "The Shade" and "Jack Kaster, Private Eye," Christmas in the Airwaves also tells the story of the people behind the microphones. The cast and producers of the local weekly show, including the lovely Welsh Sisters, are all abuzz as they prepare to present the annual holiday special ... even as war wages in Europe. Brimming with holiday nostalgia and beloved Christmas standards, this heart-warming production by John Patrick Bray receives its world premiere at Lyric Arts Main Street Stage.

Thru - Dec 20, 2015



Price: $15-$32

  Christmas in the Airwaves Reviews

Aisle Say Twin Cities - Recommended

"...I love a show at this time of year that tells a good story while embracing the "holiday spirit" with themes of love and optimism, and Christmas in the Airwaves is just that: a good story that, while set 70 years ago, is still relevant, because it focuses on love, forgiveness, generosity, and the importance of community. The characters are a lovable bunch; just try not to fall in love with the enthusiastic, earnest Gloria (Sarah Frazier) or Brendan Veerman as the adorkable Buck, or be completely fascinated by Michael Conroy as the enigmatic Hubert. Oh, and the music really is lovely; you'll tap your toes to Jingle Bells, giggle at Does Santa Claus Sleep with his Whiskers (over or under the sheet?), and get some serious goosebumps during Cantique de Noel. It's a charming show with a lot of heart, and worth your time if you like holiday shows and/or musicals."
