Best Christmas Pageant Ever: The Musical

About this event

Lexington Children's Theatre's annual holiday show gives young people the opportunity to perform on the Lexington Opera House stage, creating a special experience that has brought generations together since 1984. This Christmas season is the return of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: The Musical, last seen on the Lexington Opera House stage in 2019.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: The Musical follows The Herdman family. The Herdmans are known as 'the worst kids in the history of the world' – so when they crash Sunday school and demand parts in the Christmas pageant, the whole town panics. In an effort to prove everyone wrong, director Grace Bradley gives the Herdmans a chance. But there’s not supposed to be biting or cigar smoking in Bethlehem, and while these kids have never even heard the Christmas story, they definitely have rewrites! In this musical adaptation of the classic story, will the Herdmans step up and be a choir of angels or bring chaos to Bethlehem?
