Following four critically acclaimed shows since its launch earlier this year, the Back to the Musicals series returns to The Pheasantry in Chelsea on Sunday 9th December 2012, with A Merry Little Christmas, a celebration of festive music from the world of theatre and film.
Back to the Musicals: A Merry Little Christmas will feature songs from classic shows such as Mame and White Christmas, modern material from Songs for a New World and Elf, and music from films such as Home Alone, Alan Menken’s A Christmas Carol and Polar Express.
Back to the Musicals: A Merry Little Christmas profiles the songs we associate with Christmas, the films that define the holiday season, and the musicals that remind us what Christmas really means. In keeping with the Back to the Musicals format, material from the 1940s to the present day will be performed with a festive spin and a dash of seasonal magic.
Back to the Musicals was established in early 2012. The series explores the rich and varied back catalogue of musical theatre's biggest hits (and misses), with a plethora of show tunes, a smattering of musical theatre history, and young performers at the outset of their careers.
Back to the Musicals: A Merry Little Christmas is devised and directed by Jennifer Coyle with musical direction by Nicholas Chave. The cast of burgeoning young musical theatre talent includes Jennifer Coyle, Amelia Adams-Pearce, Liz Carter, Samuel Haughton, Kirsty Knight, Sam Lathwood, Emma Jane Morton, Dale Page and Steven Oliver Webb.
