ITS BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS From a press release
The Huntington Civic Arena serves as a stop on a 23 city national tour of Kenny
Rogers Christmas From the Heart Featuring The Toy Shoppe
when the show visits the Tri-State on Tuesday, December 3, at 7:30 pm.
The production features lavish sets, life size toys, and a full cast of children
who join Rogers on a trip through the holiday season in a small town. The four-time
Grammy winner performs many holiday classics including The Christmas Song, White
Christmas, and Let It Snow. A nativity scene magically comes to life as the children
team up with Rogers on a memorable performance of The Chosen One which includes
Silent Night, Joy to the World, and The First Noel.
Following an intermission, the stage is completely transformed into a colorful
toy shop with Rogers assuming the role of the shops owner Hank Longley.
Longley gathers the children to share stories of old fashioned holiday values
and the importance of family with several special characters joining him to musically
convey his message. The original music features 11 songs written by Rogers and
several holiday standards.
This marks the second appearance of the show in Huntington as Rogers appeared
before a packed house at the Civic Arena in 2001 as part of the Marshall Artist
Series. The show enters in sixth year of production following its off-Broadway
debut.
