Synopsis

Based on the hit holiday classic song, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer brings one of the most beloved characters of all time to stages everywhere. Rudolph wants nothing more than to be just like the other reindeer, but his bright red nose seems to always get in the way! With everyone at the North Pole picking on him for his differences, he feels like nothing but a misfit. Rudolph sets off on a journey to find a place where he belongs. Along the way, he meets other misfits who show Rudolph that he was always right where he belonged right at the North Pole. When Santa’s big night is at risk of being ruined by a storm, Rudolph is finally able to show everyone how his differences are what truly make him special.

This show is a Theatre for Young Audiences version and has a 90-minute run time. This run time includes a 20-minute intermission between the acts.
