The Magic of Christmas features state of the art 45-foot LED walls, over 6,000 costumes and 30 festive scene changes. Creatively produced and choreographed, these ‘fun for the whole family’ musical numbers range from hip-hopping penguins, dancing Santas, and The Nutcracker Suite, to Toyland, The Polar Express and Christmas choral music including Handel’s Messiah. From their early days of performing with such legends as Andy Williams, Ed Sullivan, and Bing Crosby to their current International Music Outreach Tours that include 325 shows each year across 17 countries, The Young Americans remain the pinnacle of excellence in both music and dance performance.
