What To Know About This Production
The Voice of Christmas was written and choreographed by Megan Nicko in 2019. Megan is the Founder and Director of SiSu Dance Academy and Company.
The Voice of Christmas brings true meaning to the holiday season. The birth of Jesus is intertwined into the original Nutcracker story by having Marie receive not a nutcracker as a gift, but like each child at the Christmas party, Marie is given a piece from a small nativity scene. Marie and the rest of the children then learn the story of the true meaning of Christmas from the family's grandmother.
Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite music is prevalent throughout the show, with additional music by various Christian artists.
Marie is taken through a journey with good and evil and seeing the history of how our beloved Savior was born. She witnesses dancers from different countries, bring their gifts of dance to the Savior. Marie falls asleep with a new meaning of why our Christmas tradition is truly celebrated.
Today you will preview the scenes of Mary and Joseph’s Journey to Bethlehem where they are protected and guided by angels. Mary cries out to the Lord to protect her and Joseph’s child while they struggle to find a place for Mary to give birth. Following the birth of Jesus dancers from all countries bring dancing to the savior as their gift offerings.
Marie then shares a moment with Mary and Joseph while they allow her to bring her gift of dancing to him. Marie falls asleep that Christmas eve understanding the meaning of Christmas and why it is truly cherished and celebrated.
