SOLD OUT: CHILL: THE ENTIRE CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS SOUNDTRACK, PLAYED LIVE & DANCED – SATURDAY EVENING
As the weather chills, Rhythmically Speaking dance company chills into playful original choreography and movement improvisations to dance to life the groovy and nostalgic Vince Guaraldi jazz tunes that compose the soundtrack beloved 1965 animated TV special “Charlie Brown Christmas,” played live by The Jazz Outlaws! As the birthplace of “Peanuts” creator Charles Schultz, Minnesota’s capital city of St. Paul is an ideal place for this quirky holiday production. Composed by Vince Guaraldi, a West-Coast jazz musician little-known past his region before the release of the celebrated TV special he scored, the soundtrack music itself has carved an aural niche in American jazz music and popular culture. Yet, until CHILL, it had never been the feature of a production of original concert jazz dance. Join us to experience this holiday crowd favorite: it’s cozy and affordable, you can enjoy a pint and a meal during the show, and we’ve made some fun tweaks to keep the show fresh for folks who’ve already seen it. CHILL is great festive fun for yuletide revelry-seekers of all backgrounds and ages, and works great for families: tickets for kids 4-18 are $15.00 and 0-3 year-old lap-sitters are free, the evening shows have start times that are earlier than normal for a lot of live theater, and it runs about an hour! We hope you’ll join us for some quirky holiday joy! ————————————- Ticket Pricing Information Adult tickets are priced at $25.00, $40.00 and $60.00: please choose the option that feels most appropriate for your situation.
