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.

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.

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.

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!

Get ready to be swept away by one of the grandest classics in ballet history. From February 13–15, 2026, the Sacramento Ballet brings Sleeping Beauty to life at the SAFE Credit Union Performing Arts Center, accompanied by live music from Sacramento Philharmonic & Opera. It’s an unforgettable weekend of beauty, drama, and enchantment that blends rich tradition with theatrical brilliance. 

A Fairy Tale Set to Breathtaking Music

Sleeping Beauty is one of the most beloved works in the classical ballet canon. The story follows the journey of Princess Aurora, cursed by the wicked fairy Carabosse to sleep for a hundred years — until the arrival of true love’s kiss awakens her and restores peace to the kingdom. Rooted in Charles Perrault’s timeless fairy tale, the narrative sparkles with magic, romance, and spellbinding stagecraft. 

What makes this production especially transcendent is the music. The score was composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, one of the great masters of the Romantic era, between 1888 and 1889. The full ballet Sleeping Beauty, Opus 66, was first performed in St. Petersburg in January 1890 and remains one of Tchaikovsky’s most cherished and enduring works.

• Classical Ballet at Its Peak: Sleeping Beauty is revered for its technical brilliance and exalted choreography, a collaboration originally between Tchaikovsky and ballet master Marius Petipa that set a standard for storytelling through dance. 
• Pageantry and Pageantry: The ballet features dazzling costumes, courtly spectacle, and dramatic staging — a feast for audiences of all ages.
• Live Performance Energy: The Sacramento Philharmonic & Opera brings the score to vibrant life, making this truly a performance you’ll want to experience live.

Hoffmann’s story, was set to Tchaikovsky’s enchanting music and first choreographed by Marius Petipa. Premiering in 1892 in Moscow, it took nearly a century for Nutcracker to become the Christmas phenomenon we know today.

As the clock strikes midnight, Clara embarks on a fantastical journey filled with battling mice, dancing snowflakes, and the enchanting Land of Sweets, where she meets the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier.

The kind of arrangements that remind you why Sinatra remains the soundtrack of winter nights and why his birthday deserves a proper party.

The Citizen Hotel elevates the experience without trying too hard. Guests sip seasonal cocktails, the marble and wood interiors glow, and every moment feels like stepping into a stylish December postcard. It is the perfect pick for date night, friend night, or anyone who thinks festive should also feel polished.

If the season has been moving too fast, this is the pause you will want to press. Sinatra never rushed and neither will you. Settle in, raise a glass, and let the holidays arrive in perfect time.

If the 15th doesn’t work for you, they’ve added a second date on December 22nd.
