Sam the Snowman narrates the familiar story: Rudolph hides his glowing nose, teams up with Hermey the elf who would rather be a dentist, meets prospector Yukon Cornelius, visits the Island of Misfit Toys, faces the Abominable Snow Monster and finally guides Santa's sleigh through a storm. The show is rated G and runs about 1 hour 15 minutes, a manageable length for younger children. Fourteen performances run December 5–23, with weekend matinees at 11am, 2pm and 5pm and weeknight shows at 7pm the week before Christmas. Tickets are sold through the theatre's OvationTix page. ## Similar picks in Kansas City - [The Great Christmas Cookie Bake-Off (Theatre for Young America)](https://grassyknees.com/kansas-city/activities/the-great-christmas-cookie-bake-off-theatre-for-young-america--listing-253d5f96a019d55a52bc9c7e) — Nov 27 – Dec 23 · City Stage Theatre at Union Station · From $15 · checked Oct 14.
