Make your Christmas even more special this year with a trip to the theatre. From an orchestra-led screening of Love Actually to a restaging of a Dickensian classic, here are the best shows to watch this Christmas.
Shows To Watch This Christmas
Love Actually Live in Concert, Eventim Apollo
There are few things more festive than a viewing of Love Actually, and this version adds a new dimension to the table. Love Actually Live in Concert sees the soundtrack of Richard Curtis’ 2003 film performed live to picture – and fans of the movie know Craig Armstrong’s score is a big part of its magic. Hugh Grant’s legendary dance to The Pointer Sisters’ Jump, the unique performance of All You Need is Love at Kiera Knightley’s wedding, and of course Bill Nighy’s rendition of Christmas is All Around will all be brought to life at Hammersmith’s Eventim Apollo – just the kind of seasonal cheer we need right now. 10 – 13 December, tickets available from tickemaster.co.uk
The Nutcracker, The Royal Opera House
Tristram Kenton
Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without The Nutcracker, and happily The Royal Opera House is presenting a Covid-safe version this winter. Starring students of The Royal Ballet School, this restaging of Peter Wright’s celebrated two-act production features many of the much-loved elements of the cherished classic – from the magical growing Christmas tree to the enchanting dance of the snowflakes. There are also some new additions though, including a battle scene between the Nutcracker and the Mouse King and their armies, choreographed by Will Tuckett. 7 December 2020 – 2 January 2021, roh.org.uk
Dick Whittington, The National Theatre
Christmas is cancelled? Oh no, it isn’t. For one year only, pantomime comes to the National Theatre with a version of Dick Whittington, first staged at the Lyric in Hammersmith and updated for 2020. Directed by Ned Bennett, the production explores what it’s like to arrive in a small town from a big city today, looking at timely themes of community and togetherness. The cast so far includes Dickie Beau, Amy Booth-Steel and Lawrence Hodgson-Mullings, Georgina Onuorah, and Cleve September. 11 December 2020 – 23 January 2021, nationaltheatre.org.uk
A Christmas Carol, Bridge Theatre
Alexandra Guelff
Simon Russell Beale, Patsy Ferran and Eben Figueiredo will star in a new version of Charles Dickens’ timeless novel A Christmas Carol at the Bridge Theatre this winter, devised by Nicholas Hytner. A moving show to watch this Christmas. 27 November 2020 – 16 January 2021, bridgetheatre.co.uk
The Royal Opera Christmas Concert, The Royal Opera House
The Royal Opera House is set to present three performances of a Christmas concert this December, featuring performances from soloists including Jennifer Davis, Hanna Hipp and Jeremy White. They’ll sing alongside the combined forces of the Royal Opera Chorus, Jette Parker Young Artists and Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, with the line-up set to include extracts from Rossini’s La Cenerentola and Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel, Puccini’s La bohème and more. 18, 19 and 20 December 2020, roh.org.uk
Katherine Jenkins: Christmas Spectacular from the Royal Albert Hall
Despite obvious challenges, Katherine Jenkins’ annual Christmas performance at the Royal Albert Hall is going ahead this year – albeit a little differently. Instead of singing to live audiences, the Welsh star has recorded a festive musical in the historic venue alongside the likes of Bill Nighy and Vanessa Redgrave. It’s being screened in cinemas worldwide from 1 December. katherinejenkins.film
The Little Match Girl, Sadler’s Wells
Christmas returns to Sadler’s Wells with performances of Ballo Arthur Pita’s family favourite The Little Match Girl, following five seasons at the Lilian Baylis Studio. The heart-warming production is a reimagining of Hans Christian Anderson’s classic tale, featuring dance, song and Frank Moon’s atmospheric music performed live on stage. The story follows a young girl’s journey around an imaginary Italian town on a cold Christmas Eve as she wanders the streets with just a match to keep her warm. Along the way she encounters both kindness and cruelty; a tale of friendship, family and hope. 17 – 27 December 2020, sadlerswells.com
