"Deck the Halls!"

Check in at the decked-out St. Nicholas Hotel where we find our dashing dancers and merry musicians ready to “Deck the Halls!” Bubby Bubbly bellhops and glittery guests make merriment in preparation for a visit from Old Saint Nick. This musical holiday adventure brings together friends old and new to celebrate the season with awe-inspiring performances designed to capture the hearts of the entire family.

Note the time change because we were only able to get a lunch at Bird-in-Hand at 11:00 AM so we will have some time to SHOP before the show.
