The story follows a group of heroes transported into a winter wonderland where, with each daring act, they grow younger and rediscover the joy of the holidays, told through acrobatics, aerial performances and stunts set to familiar holiday music. It is pitched at the whole family, and a 5 pm curtain (doors at 4) suits children who can't manage a late night. A limited number of VIP packages add a pre-show backstage tour 75 minutes before showtime where kids can meet the cast, get on stage, handle props and take photos — the add-on can also be bought separately. Tickets through the Basie's Ticketmaster page. ## Similar picks in New York - [The Nutcracker — CODA at the Count Basie Center, Red Bank](https://grassyknees.com/new-york/activities/the-nutcracker-coda-at-the-count-basie-center-red-bank--listing-7d399132c6ab0108a714bc85) — Fri, Dec 11 (+2 more dates) · 7:00 PM · Count Basie Center for the Arts — Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre, Red Bank · Paid · checked Oct 24.
