The Night Before Christmas

The Night Before Christmas

An original magical family musical

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring…except for a child sneaking out of her bedroom to try and catch a glimpse of Santa. Little does she know the adventure that’s in store when she encounters Humbug, the friendly mouse of the house, and when Santa gets stuck in the chimney they’ll need to work together, with the help of the Sugar Plum Fairy and Rudolph, to save Christmas for everyone!

The Night Before Christmas is an original musical written, directed and performed by a professional creative team and produced by Brentwood Theatre. Adapted from the classic poem by Clement Clarke Moore.

Suitable for all ages

Approximate running time 50 mins

Original artwork by Blue Serif

The below video of a selection of songs from The Night Before Christmas was recorded last year after we were forced to cancel the show during pre-production and rehearsals due to COVID-19 restrictions:
