Come Home for the Holidays at American Music Theatre

One of Lancaster's most joyous of holiday traditions is back for another year – the American Music Theatre's acclaimed Christmas show. Get your tickets today for a nostalgic musical celebration of the joys of spending the holidays with the ones we love. It's guaranteed to get you in the Christmas spirit!

The American Music Theatre is Lancaster's premier entertainment venue with more than 300 shows dazzling the stage every year. In addition to offering top-name celebrity concerts, this 1,600-seat theatre produces its own original shows featuring some of the most talented musicians, vocalists and dancers in the nation. If you're going to choose just one of AMT's original productions to see, make it the all-new Christmas show for 2022, "Home for the Holidays," a holiday performance that rivals shows in bigger cities.

The annual Christmas show is immensely popular – for good reason. When you arrive at the theatre before showtime, the cheerful Christmas decor sets the mood – from twinkling lighted garland and wreaths with big red bows to beautifully ornamented Christmas trees. For the show itself, audiences will be wowed by an ensemble cast of Broadway-caliber singers and dancers, highlighted by the delightful sets. Musicians create magic both together and as soloists and are prominently featured on the stage, rather than being hidden in the shadows of the orchestra pit.

Written, directed and produced completely in-house, "Home for the Holidays" celebrates the wonder, warmth and magic of the Christmas season. Nostalgia is a key part of this year’s theme, which is invoked by a mix of sacred and secular songs and popular holiday tunes. The show takes you though several holiday scenes, starting with a joyous Christmas Eve gathering of family and friends. The audience is then transported to a colorful and lively world of Santa's candy factory, where the elves are busy at work. The show closes with a moving and spiritual midnight candlelight service with songs of worship and traditional carols.

"Home for the Holidays" is 2 hours and 15 minutes in length with a short intermission. Choose from a variety of weekday and weekend performances, with tickets priced to fit any holiday budget.
