Broadway Sacramento Presents: White Christmas

Broadway Sacramento is bringing a beloved holiday classic to life with its sparkling production of White Christmas, the musical that wraps nostalgic charm, irresistible music, and heartfelt storytelling into one dazzling package. Inspired by the 1954 film, this stage version celebrates everything people adore about holiday theatre: big ensemble numbers, timeless songs, and a story that warms even the frostiest December day.

A holiday musical filled with joy

White Christmas follows two song-and-dance partners who team up with a sister act for a winter adventure that turns into something much bigger than they expected. Romance blooms, friendships deepen, and a Vermont inn in need becomes the setting for a story full of generosity and cheer. The musical features the legendary music of Irving Berlin, including “Sisters,” “Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep,” and the iconic title number that has become a permanent part of the American holiday soundtrack.

Broadway-quality magic in Sacramento

Broadway Sacramento is known for bringing professional productions to the capital region, and White Christmas is no exception. Expect beautiful choreography, crisp harmonies, elegant vintage costumes, and sets that capture the story’s midcentury charm. It’s the kind of show where the tap numbers sparkle, the ballads soar, and the finale brings the entire audience together in a festive glow.

A perfect way to celebrate the season

Whether you grew up watching the movie or are discovering the story for the first time, White Christmas is pure holiday delight. It’s a cozy, heartwarming musical that pairs perfectly with hot cocoa, twinkling lights, and winter nights spent with family and friends. Broadway Sacramento’s production offers a joyful reminder of community, kindness, and the simple pleasure of sharing a beautiful show with the people you love.

West Side Story

What Makes July’s West Side Story a Must-See

1. Award-Winning Source Material
With a heritage rooted in Broadway (1957) and Hollywood (1961 film with 10 Oscars), West Side Story blends emotion, choreography, and conversation about identity—still fresh and potent more than six decades later
2. Variety of Showings
Catch it your way: an open-captioned performance on July 11; audio-described on July 12 (matinee); sign-interpreted on July 13; plus evening shows through July 17 to fit any schedule
3. Cultural Impact
The narrative—gang rivalry, love across divides, the immigrant experience—resonates just as strongly today. Songs like “America” and “Somewhere” still echo with relevance and hope
4. Family-Friendly Theater
Under the tent, Sacramento audiences can share this vibrant, emotional masterpiece—ideal for musical lovers and families seeking a summer arts experience that moves the heart.

The orchestra soars, the vocals shine, and the ensemble brings old-school showbiz charm to every number.

Million Dollar Quartet

A Rock ‘n’ Roll Reunion for the Ages – Million Dollar Quartet Hits the Music Circus Stage

Step back in time to the night rock ‘n’ roll history was made.

From May 30 through June 5, 2025, Broadway At Music Circus welcomes Million Dollar Quartet—the electrifying jukebox musical that captures one unforgettable evening in Memphis when four musical legends shared a mic, a piano, and pure magic. Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins came together for the first and only time at Sun Records on December 4, 1956. The result? A jam session so iconic, it earned a name that still resonates today.

This stage sensation takes audiences inside that impromptu studio gathering—complete with legendary hits like “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Great Balls of Fire,” and “I Walk the Line.” More than a concert, Million Dollar Quartet is a behind-the-scenes look at the personalities, rivalries, and raw energy that made these young men into icons.
Presented in the intimate, in-the-round setting of Music Circus, this production brings you closer than ever to the crackling spontaneity that defined rock’s golden age. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of the fab four or discovering their music for the first time, this show promises to bring down the house.

Feel the rhythm. Hear the legends. Witness the night that changed music forever.
Don’t miss Million Dollar Quartet—only at Broadway At Music Circus.

Get ready to cut loose, Sacramento! The high-energy, toe-tapping sensation Footloose is bringing its electrifying music and infectious spirit to Broadway At Music Circus from March 21–27, 2025. If you’ve ever felt the urge to dance like nobody’s watching, this is your chance to do it—because this production is going to be a showstopper!

Based on the hit 1984 film that had everyone hitting the dance floor, Footloose tells the story of Ren McCormack, a city teen who moves to a small town where dancing is outlawed. With powerhouse songs like “Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” “Holding Out for a Hero,” “I’m Free (Heaven Helps the Man),” and, of course, “Footloose,” this musical is a celebration of youth, rebellion, and the joy of cutting loose.

Broadway Sacramento Expands Year-Round Theatre Programming
In an exciting development, Broadway Sacramento has reached an agreement with the Sacramento Theatre Company (STC) to expand its programming beyond its traditional summer season. This means more shows, more opportunities to enjoy professional musical theatre, and more reasons to celebrate the performing arts in Sacramento.

For nearly 75 years, Broadway Sacramento and STC have shared a campus at 15th and H Streets. While STC has brought wonderful productions to the city for decades, rising costs have made it difficult for them to continue. As a result, Broadway Sacramento will now be the sole operator of the theatre complex, ensuring that live, professional theatre continues to thrive in the community.
“This is a bittersweet moment,” said STC Board President Betsy Wood. “We are proud of our legacy, and while we are sad to make this transition, we fully support Broadway Sacramento’s expansion.”

Broadway Sacramento Board Chair Dr. Jacqueline M. Calkin echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the company’s commitment to maintaining year-round theatre programming. “We take this responsibility seriously and look forward to continuing to bring world-class productions to Sacramento audiences.”

Shows – Broadway Sacramento

Broadway At Music Circus is a truly unique musical theatre experience, renowned by theatre professionals and fans across the country. Each summer the Broadway At Music Circus series features new productions of classic musicals with some of the most talented professional actors available, Tony-winning Broadway veterans and stars of touring Broadway, film and TV.

A Bright Future for Sacramento Theatre

With the Broadway Sacramento Conservatory offering musical theatre training for young performers, and the company’s commitment to attracting national audiences, Sacramento’s theatre scene is poised for an exciting new chapter.
As Broadway Sacramento President/CEO Scott Klier puts it, “Our goal is to make Sacramento a true theatre destination—one that continues to grow and thrive.”

So, get ready to dance, sing, and celebrate! With Footloose leading the charge, 2025 is shaping up to be a spectacular year for theatre in Sacramento. Grab your tickets, put on your dancing shoes, and join the excitement!

The holidays hit different when the decorations float by. The Capitol Yacht Club’s Christmas Lighted Boat Parade brings a glowing lineup of decorated vessels cruising along the Sacramento River, turning the waterfront into one big moving festival. It is one of those local traditions that feels both lively and laid back, with lights reflecting off the water and cheerful crews waving from every deck.

Boats are decked out with everything from classic white lights to full themed displays that would make Santa trade in the sleigh. Families gather along the shoreline, couples make it a night out, and anyone within earshot of the river ends up peeking outside just to catch a glimpse. The parade stretches along a scenic stretch of the river which means there are prime spots for spectators who want more than a quick drive-by.

Two of the best viewing locations also happen to serve food and drinks which makes the experience even better. The Virgin Sturgeon offers a front row seat from its riverfront patio with the boats gliding close enough for great photos. Crawdad’s on the River provides another unbeatable vantage point with a lively atmosphere and plenty of space to settle in. Grab a warm drink, order a bite, and enjoy the show without fighting for a patch of cold pavement.

Watching from the riverbanks near the marina is another popular choice for families who prefer to keep things simple. Arrive a little early, bring layers, and enjoy the sounds of cheering mixed with gentle water and holiday music drifting from the docks.

The Christmas Lighted Boat Parade proves that Sacramento knows how to celebrate the season in style. No snow required. Just sparkling boats, a river that knows how to shine, and the perfect spot to watch it all float by.

Home for the Holidays

Home for the Holidays with the Sacramento Choral Society

Nothing signals the start of Sacramento’s holiday season quite like the Sacramento Choral Society’s Home for the Holidays concert at the historic Memorial Auditorium. It’s the kind of evening where velvet seats, soaring vocals, and the warm glow of twinkling lights make you forget that you still haven’t wrapped a single gift.

Under the direction of conductor Donald Kendrick, the chorus and full orchestra turn classic carols and seasonal favorites into something bigger than nostalgia. This is not a sleepy singalong. It’s an electrifying wall of sound that fills every corner of the auditorium with rich harmonies and bright brass. One moment you’re reliving childhood memories during Silent Night and the next you’re grinning at a jazzy twist on a familiar tune.

The setting does half the magic. Sacramento Memorial Auditorium has a way of making even the quiet moments feel monumental. The acoustics give the choir room to shine while the audience settles into that rare space between goosebumps and pure contentment. Families come dressed for photos. Longtime subscribers greet each other like old friends. First timers wonder why they waited so long.

Home for the Holidays is more than a concert. It’s a tradition that turns one December afternoon into an instant mood reset. If your calendar needs a little sparkle or your spirits need a lift, this is the place to find it.

Sutter Creek Las Posadas Candlelight Walk

Some holiday traditions sparkle. Others glow. The Las Posadas Candlelight Walk in historic Sutter Creek does both. On December 6, 2025, the Gold Country town brings this cherished celebration to life for one heartfelt evening that feels timeless and refreshingly simple.

The event begins at 6 pm at the Immaculate Conception Church at Spanish and Amelia Streets where participants receive candles and song booklets. From there, the candlelit procession follows Joseph and Mary as she rides on a burro through the quiet streets. The walk winds down Spanish Street, continues along Main Street, and concludes at the stable in front of the Historic Methodist Church.

What makes this night so special is not spectacle but sincerity. Families, neighbors, and visitors walk together while singing familiar Christmas carols and listening to narration that retells the ancient story. Children are welcome to join the drama as shepherds, angels, animals, or simply bring a favorite stuffed companion. It is participation, not performance, that matters.

After the procession ends, everyone is invited into the social hall for cookies and hot beverages. The warm treats soften the crisp evening air and give the community a chance to linger, talk, and enjoy the moment before heading home.

For anyone looking to slow down the season, Sutter Creek offers the perfect setting. Historic storefronts, gentle candlelight, and a tradition rooted in hospitality come together for a night that feels like stepping into a Christmas memory. Dress warmly, wear comfortable walking shoes, and arrive ready to experience one of the most charming holiday events in the Gold Country.

Guests can wander through a forest of decorated trees, admire glowing displays, and enjoy the kind of atmosphere that makes kids wide eyed and adults pleasantly nostalgic. The event blends holiday whimsy with the mission of the sanctuary, making every ticket a way to support the animals who call Folsom home.

New this year: Santa’s Workshop

For 2025, visitors will get to explore the brand new Barnyard Experience facility, which is being transformed into Santa’s Workshop for the season. It’s a charming new stop where families can snap photos, explore festive decorations, and meet Santa himself.

Music, treats, and nighttime train rides

Local caroling groups and musicians bring the soundtrack of the season to life throughout the event, creating pockets of sound and warmth along the pathways. Seasonal refreshments are available to keep spirits high.

For many families, a must do is a nighttime trip on the miniature scale live steam Starlight Express train. Tickets are five dollars per person, and the ride winds through glowing displays that feel especially magical after sunset.

More holiday cheer throughout the sanctuary

Guests may run into Santa Claus, but the zoo’s own Santa Paws often steals the show. Folsom Zoo Docents also host animal presentations, giving visitors a chance to learn more about the sanctuary’s residents while enjoying the festive setting.

A holiday tradition that gives back

Wild Nights & Holiday Lights celebrates the season while supporting the important work of the Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary, which cares for rescued animals that cannot be released back into the wild. It’s an event that leaves families smiling and helps ensure these animals receive the specialized care they need.
