The Santa Switch: A New Holiday Musical for the Whole Family — Batavia Arts news

What happens when Santa decides it’s time to retire? In The Santa Switch, the magical Bells of SinterKlaas choose an unlikely successor: Jack Chase, a New York advertising executive who has spent his life chasing success—and has little room left for Christmas magic.When the magic of Christmas begins to disappear, Jack is swept into an unforgettable adventure alongside an aspiring artist, a determined Mrs. Claus, a lovable crew of elves, and a mysterious charity worker. The result is a joyful holiday musical filled with laughter, romance, adventure, and plenty of Christmas spirit.Featuring a talented cast of RCSA youth and adult performers, The Santa Switch brings an energetic soundtrack to the stage with favorites including “Best Day of My Life,” “Breakaway,” “Fight Song,” “What a Wonderful World,” “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” “A Holly Jolly Christmas,” and more. It’s a story about redemption, hope, finding your purpose—and remembering how to believe in a little magic.Performan
