The Ultimate Christmas Show (abridged)
The Ultimate Christmas Show (abridged)

12/7/17 - Peoria Cabaret Theatre brings back for the 2nd year the hit holiday comedy - THE ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS SHOW (ABRIDGED) starring Jimmy Lahood, Mike Reams, & Andrew Rhodenbaugh!

STORY: Welcome to the Annual Holiday Variety Show and Christmas Pageant at St. Everybody’s Non-Denominational Universalist Church, where all faiths are welcome because we’ll believe anything. But there’s a problem: none of the acts scheduled to perform have arrived, so three members are pressed into service to perform the entire Variety Show and Christmas Pageant by themselves. An irreverent yet heartwarming trip through the holidays, THE ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS SHOW (ABRIDGED) is festive, funny, physical, family fun as these Three Wise Guys send up and celebrate our favorite holiday traditions.

Call the office at 309-494-9100 or email Nyk at waterhousebanquets@gmail.com for group reservations NOW, otherwise seats will go on sale beginning on November 1st!

Buffet menu is Kahlua Pulled Pork, Waterhouse Chicken (boneless breast in a creamy white wine sauce with mushrooms), Tossed Mixed Greens, Smashed Potatoes, 2 vegetables, Dinner Rolls, and Texas Sheetcake. *Vegetarian Pasta Primavera in a light alfredo available with prior notice

Main Level seating is available @ $40pp. 

Mezzanine Level seating is available @ $36pp. Note that if you purchase a seat in the Mezzanine Level for the show, you will eat dinner on the lower level. Additionally, the Mezzanine is ONLY accessible by stairs and these seats are discounted because they are obstructed view seats.
